  • Wolchover, Natalie. "A New Physics Theory of Life." (28 January 2014). Scientific American, Quanta Magazine.

Wolchover presents MIT researcher Jeremy England's ideas about how matter-energy spontaneously generates complexity in certain circumstances, and how this proclivity can be used to shed light on life's origins, and upon aspects of biological evolution less than fully explained by Darwinian natural selection. Links in this article to related research. Link 10pp., 15min.
