  • What is Life?

    How Chemistry Becomes Biology

    by Addy Pross ...
    series Oxford Landmark Science
    Seventy years ago, Erwin Schrödinger posed a profound question: 'What is life, and how did it emerge from non-life?' This problem has puzzled biologists and physical scientists ever since. Living things are hugely complex and have unique properties, such as self-maintenance and apparently purposeful behaviour which we do not see in inert matter. So how does chemistry give rise to biology? What ... Read more

  • The Machinery of Life

    by David S. Goodsell ...
    Imagine that we had some way to look directly at the molecules in a living organism.
