An international team of researchers has developed a new theoretical framework that bridges physics and biology to provide a unified approach for understanding how complexity and evolution emerge in nature.
We are entering an era of directed design in which we will expand the limited notion that biology is only the ‘study of life and living things’ and see biology as the ultimate distributed, manufacturing platform.
Imagine a future where there is no need to cut down a tree and and reshape that raw material into a chair or table. Perhaps glowing bacteria will light our cities, and we'll be able to bring back extinct species. Synthetic biology could help us accomplish all that, and more.
