Autocatalytic Chemical Ecosystems in Spatial Settings

Explore the fascinating world of autocatalytic chemical ecosystems in spatial settings through this conference talk presented by Alex Plum at AbGradCon 2023. Delve into cutting-edge research in astrobiology as Plum discusses the complex interactions and dynamics of self-sustaining chemical systems. Gain insights into how these ecosystems may have played a role in the origin of life and their potential implications for understanding extraterrestrial environments. Learn about the latest methodologies and findings in this interdisciplinary field, combining chemistry, biology, and physics. Discover how spatial settings influence the behavior and evolution of autocatalytic systems, and consider the broader implications for astrobiology and the search for life beyond Earth.
