Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Harnessing solar energy for self‐heating presents an effective strategy to suppress surface ice formation. In this paper, we fabricated nano‐silver‐modified multilayer graphene sheets (Ag@MGs) that integrate photothermal and superhydrophobic properties for anti‐icing applications.

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.Bioinspired vesicles are emerging as programmable nanoreactors for photocatalytic applications. This review covers the recent advances in artificial vesicles, including liposomes, polymersomes, proteinosomes, and hybrid vesicles, for compartmentalized photocatalysis, comparing their properties and assembly routes, showing how their properties affect ...

Reconciling Ligase Ribozyme Activity with Fatty Acid Vesicle Stability
Life, 2014 The “RNA world” and the “Lipid world” theories for the origin of cellular life are often considered incompatible due to the differences in the environmental conditions at which they can emerge.

Synergism and Mutualism in Non-Enzymatic RNA Polymerization
Life, 2014 The link between non-enzymatic RNA polymerization and RNA self-replication is a key step towards the “RNA world” and still far from being solved, despite extensive research.

Current Ideas about Prebiological Compartmentalization
Life, 2015 Contemporary biological cells are highly sophisticated dynamic compartment systems which separate an internal volume from the external medium through a boundary, which controls, in complex ways, the exchange of matter and energy between the cell’s ...

Recursiveness, Switching, and Fluctuations in a Replicating Catalytic Network
, 2003 A protocell model consisting of mutually catalyzing molecules is studied in order to investigate how chemical compositions are transferred recursively through cell divisions under replication errors.

Motility at the origin of life: Its characterization and a model
, 2013 Due to recent advances in synthetic biology and artificial life, the origin of life is currently a hot topic of research. We review the literature and argue that the two traditionally competing "replicator-first" and "metabolism-first" approaches are ...

A molecular approach to complex adaptive systems [PDF]
, 2007 Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) are dynamical networks of interacting agents which as a whole determine the behavior, adaptivity and cognitive ability of the system. CAS are ubiquitous and occur in a variety of natural and artificial systems (e.g., cells,
