Membrane-less droplets were a key element of the first popular hypothesis for life's origin, which was set out by Russian biologist Alexander Oparin in the 1920s. However, the idea fell out of favour when it emerged that all cells have membranes. The idea is now being re-assessed, says Kate Adamala of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

Experiment sheds light on the molecular evolution of RNA. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have for the first time been able to create an RNA molecule that replicates, diversifies, and develops complexity, following Darwinian evolution. This has provided the first empirical evidence that simple biological molecules can lead to the emergence of complex lifelike systems.
