    Prebiotic gas flow environment enables isothermal nucleic acid replication

    Philipp Schwintek, Emre Eren ... Dieter Braun
    Exponential nucleic acid replication can occur isothermally in a prebiotically plausible setting that accumulates and simultaneously separates the strands of nucleic acids through evaporation-driven flows at the gas–water interface.
