To control fluid flow, the chips include side tunnels filled with water. When pressure is applied, the water lifts a soft gel layer that blocks specific channels, acting like a flexible gel gatekeeper.

Torture chamber for synthetic cells!
For cells to be tortured, they must first be dependent. These synthetic cells only emerge and grow when they’re fed with fuel. The fuel activates peptides, which bind polyanions and form droplets representing synthetic cells.

Emancipated Archaea 🦠
Nowadays, H₂-dependent archaea rely on partnerships with organisms that produce hydrogen. But on early Earth, when life began, archaea were probably on their own. So, where did they get the H₂ from? Let’s dig into the science.
