Darwin’s account of the origin of living things makes no attempt to answer the deepest question, what is life? With new advances in nanotechnology and biophysics, scientists are demonstrating how living organisms manipulate information to power molecular motors, control chemical reactions and navigate the uncertain world of molecular randomness. A report from one of the fastest moving frontiers in science from one of the leading researchers in the field, physicist Paul Davies will illuminate how ‘organised information’ may be the key to understanding new laws of life.
