A reaction starting from two amino acids, phosphoserine and Gly, reveals a pathway to the α‐keto acid building blocks pyruvate and glyoxylate, key components of a plausible early metabolic system. A one‐pot β‐elimination and transamination sequence also initiates a cascade of protometabolic transformations that provide crucial insights into the ...

Spring and Power in Hovering Ornithopters
Only small ornithopters can hover, longest at the hummingbird size. This article reviews the drive and power of these hovering machines, focusing on elastic energy and thrust boosters. Unlike two‐winged designs, X‐winged and multiple‐V‐winged ornithopters benefit from lower disk loading and slower, smaller wingbeats, and the clap‐and‐fling effect ...
