Can a strange state of matter explain what life is – and how it began?
Laboratory experiments have coaxed simple molecules into states that naturally become more complex, hinting at the origins of evolution itself

Bravo Adri Minnaard! He received an NWO (Dutch Research Council) M1 grant for his project on "New Light on Carbohydrate Modifications". He will to prepare complex carbohydrates in a novel way and trace them in cells and tissue, with the aim of using them for novel drugs and vaccines.

A free student-created escape room with chemistry puzzles, in our building – how awesome is that? It happened yesterday, thanks to @lerchlab.bsky.social. Students and staff certainly enjoyed it, though no one would say it was easy! 🙂 @unigroningen.bsky.social @sciencenewsroom-ug.bsky.social
