What a great paper. Wilson Poon & colleagues argue that life isn't exactly trying to be energetically efficient, because it needs the heat to optimize other capabilities.

Why life is hot
The process of evolution by natural selection leads to fitness-maximising phenotypes. On the level of cellular chemical reaction networks, maximising fitness can mean optimising a variety of fitness f...

What is the origin of diversity in allometric laws scaling across species? Check our new paper led by Andrea Tabi where
we propose a new theory of metabolic scaling grounded in thermodynamics and stochastic fluctuations at the cellular level.
