EXCTING SCIENCE findings by the Rutgers Astrobiology Team. Life is a special, very complex form of motion of matter, but this form did not always exist, and it is not separated from inorganic nature by an impassable abyss; rather, it arose from inorganic nature as a new property in the process of evolution of the world. The recent findings suggest that we must study the history of this evolution if we want to solve the problem of the origin of life. Check out the new work on the DMCS pubs page.
