✦ Synopsis

The recipe for primordial soup: acid or bitter, hot or warm. JBS Haldane's concept of life arising from a "primordial soup" in a bowl riven by lightning still appeals to cartoonists making dinosaur movies, but it's scientifically moldy after 80 years. Studies on the origin of life are increasingly providing knowledge of the basic components that would be necessary to build artifi cial "living" systems, hence connecting a fi eld of fundamental research that is frequently assumed to have no application with imminent technological developments. (see article: How did LUCA make a living? Chemiosmosis in the origin of life by: Nick Lane, John F. Allen and William Martin, http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/ bies.200900131, in this issue).
