Photon Dissipation as the origin of information encoding in RNA and DNA https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/22/9/940

All irreversible processes, including life, arise, persist, and proliferate to produce entropy. It is the dissipation of a generalized thermodynamic potential that is important in driving life, not finding a clever route to channeling energy into some kind of self-indulgence … Continue reading →

Understanding the thermodynamic function of life may shed light on its origin. Life, as are all irreversible processes, is contingent on entropy production. Entropy production is a measure of the rate of the tendency of Nature to explore available microstates. … Continue reading →
