Description
Matheus Correia Casotti and co-authors weave physics, chemistry, and biology into one view of how life begins and keeps changing, in a 2026 review. The piece takes up the old question of what life is, in the spirit of Feynman and Schrödinger. It ranges from first-chemistry tests and cell shells to healing medicine and life beyond Earth.
Shifts in chromosome set counts, gene-setting marks, and quantum quirks like tunneling are cast as joint drivers of flexible living systems. The balance between order and disorder is framed as evolution's engine. The authors argue that a quantum-epigenetic lens is the key to designing, mending, and spreading life in harsh and off-world homes.
