Origin of Life without Intelligent Design? Long Story Short Tackles the “Energy Harnessing” Problem
“Life’s energy harnessing process is one big paradox. You need it before you can have it, and you can’t make it until you’ve already made it.”
If Nanomotors Are Designed, Why Not Biomotors?
Physical chemists are justifiably proud of their tiny motors that do little more than spin. How can they say that much more complex motors in life evolved?
Microbe Performs Rocket Science, Vital for Life on Earth
This little machine, which also knows how to recycle and reuse all its parts in a sustainable “green” way, keeps the nitrogen in balance for the whole planet.
Harvard Biophysicist Howard Berg, Flagellum’s Discoverer, Lives On
More than any other scientist, he brought to light the intricate biophysics occurring at the molecular scale in living organisms.
ATP Synthase Gets Smarter
Two new papers reveal fine-tuning in the assembly of ATP synthase rotary motors and in its operation under ATP hydrolysis.
