Website for the Third Matter / Exopoiesis research project.
Live: https://exopoiesis.space
We are designing a minimal chemical system — built from iron sulfide minerals — that maintains its own boundary, drives its own metabolism, and persists without being alive. A "Third Matter" at the boundary between chemistry and biology.
