It is with a lot of emotion that I applaud the International Society for Artificial Life for honoring the lifetime achievement of Howard Pattee to the field.

We derive two fundamental trade-offs for general stochastic limit cycles in the weak-noise limit. The first is the dissipation-coherence trade-off, which was discovered and proved under additional...

Erwin Schrödinger’s “What is Life?” is perhaps one of the most influential works in theoretical biology, but what if I told you that one of the key ideas discussed in it was nothing new?

The intriguing chemistry of a rock collected by the Perseverance rover could trace to microbial activity — or not.
