Molecular intelligence: enzymes that compute Living matter already processes information — it senses, reacts, and adapts — but doing so with the precision of a computer has long seemed out of reach. What if molecules themselves could perform computation, without any electronics? Souvik Ghosh and coauthors demonstrate exactly that: a recursive enzymatic network built from just seven immobilized enzymes that can perform reservoir computing. Instead of transistors, the system uses competition between chemical reactions, feedback loops, and non-linear kinetics to classify inputs and respond to changing conditions — all inside a microreactor. The result is remarkable. With a simple linear readout, the chemical network performs non-linear classification tasks, senses temperature with ~1.3 °C precision, and even detects light-pulse periodicity by coupling to a photoacid dye. The computation happens entirely within wet chemistry, where sensing, processing, and decision-making merge into one process. Compared to earlier chemical reservoirs, this one operates under mild, bio-compatible conditions — opening the door to soft, autonomous materials that think and act chemically.

I recently learned that the novelist, Cormac McCarthy, spent several years at the Santa Fe Institute helping scientists write papers. His advice was condensed into a brief Nature column. The first three points, and some of the final points, are really good. (h/t @eryney_ok)

I’m thrilled to be able to announce that we were granted a NWO Summit grant entitled ‘Evolving Life from Nonlife’ (EVOLF) with 40 million euro for a 10-year project aimed to cross the gap between non-life and life by assembling a living synthetic cell from lifeless biomolecules!
