Re-writing biology history…
The DNA translational system receives messages from DNA delivered to it by RNA and translates the messages into proteins.

Life. Existence. Quantum mechanics.
We're a little closer to explaining life with quantum mechanics thanks to research carried out with an IBM supercomputer. Encoding behaviours related to self-replication, mutation, interaction between individuals, and (inevitably) death, a quantum algorithm has been used to show that quantum computers can indeed mimic some of the patterns of biology in the real world.…
