Scientists create artificial life from chemicals, and it eats, grows, and divides like the real thing
Scientists at the University of Minnesota have engineered "SpudCell," a lab-made entity from lifeless chemicals that mimics key life processes like eating, growing, and dividing. This groundbreaking creation, resembling a tiny potato, represents a significant step in understanding the fundamental requirements for life. While not yet considered alive due to its dependence on external components, SpudCell offers unprecedented insights into synthetic biology and the potential for designing custom biological machines.
