Chemical modules that mimic predator-prey and other behaviors devised

Wednesday, January 9, 2013 - 12:00 in Biology & Nature

Scientists are reporting development of chemical modules that can reproduce, on an "unprecedented" molecular level, changes and interactions that occur in natural populations of plants and animals, including those of hunting and being hunted for food, conducting mutually beneficial relationships and competing for resources. These new "predator-prey biochemical oscillators" could become building blocks for molecular machines and computers.
