Complex molecular mixtures under cycling gradients as basis for lifes origins

The paper proposes physicochemical principles for life's origin, emphasizing cyclic gradients, molecular complexity, and non-covalent forces, and suggests experimental approaches to test these ideas.

Cycling Physicochemical Gradients as ‘Evolutionary Drivers’: From Complex Matter to Complex Living States

This paper explores how cycling physicochemical gradients drive the emergence and evolution of complex living states from non-living matter, proposing a framework for synthetic biology and biotic soup experimentation.
