All modern life is composed of cells, from single-celled bacteria to more complex organisms such as humans, which may contain billions or even trillions of cells, but how life came to be cellular remains uncertain. New research led by specially appointed assistant professor Tony Z. Jia at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Tokyo Institute of Technology, along with colleagues from around the world (Japan, Malaysia, France, Czech Republic, India and the USA), shows that simple chemical compounds known as hydroxy acids, which were likely common on primitive Earth, spontaneously link together and form structures reminiscent of modern cells when dried from solution, as may have happened on or in ancient beaches or puddles.

Accidental discovery uncovers crystalline solid with very unusual property
A new type of crystalline solid changes phase and reversibly releases one equivalent of solvent when heated or put under pressure. It’s ‘a unique behaviour we haven’t seen in any previous materials,’ says Michael Zdilla of Temple University in the US, part of a team that discovered the property by accident. ‘Accidents are, in my experience, the most exciting thing that can happen in science.’
Zdilla and his colleagues were investigating solid electrolyte materials with conductivities approaching those of ceramics when they came across the unique system, which they call a solvate sponge crystal. Typically, when heating crystals, either the material melts, losing no solvent, then reforms when cooled; or it melts, and then decomposes, and the materials cannot reform on cooling. This crystal is different – rather than melting or decomposing, i
