Non-equilibrium behaviour in coacervate-based protocells under electric-field-induced excitation
Synthetic cells are designed to mimic basic life processes, but it is challenging to prepare cells that can persist and operate at non-equilibrium conditions. Here, Yin et al.show complex dynamical behaviors of protocells made by exposing polylysine and single-stranded DNA droplets to an electric fi...
