'Water paradox' solved by microdroplets

Recent research may point towards a solution to the 'water paradox' for the early formation of life

The Conversation

The study of evolution is fracturing – and that may be a good thing

How will life on Earth and the ecosystems that support it adapt to climate change? Which species will go extinct – or evolve into something new? How will microbes develop further resistance to antibiotics?

Water was both essential and a barrier to early life on Earth – microdroplets are one potential solution to this paradox

It’s a paradox: Life needs water to survive, but a world full of water can’t generate the biomolecules that would have been essential for early life. Or so researchers thought.
