Wet artificial life - Définition wikipedia
Wet artificial life or wet alife refers to research efforts to safely synthesize self-sustaining new cellular life forms from abiotic components such as pure chemical substances. The name derives from the assumption that liquids are required for the new cells to be viable. This research involved experiments with chemical substrates in water. If such a research goal were accomplished, it would be comparable to the synthesis of urea in 1828, which discredited the concept of vitalism. As of 2007, some scientists were optimistic that a genuine fulfillment of that goal is achievable within the coming decade while other experts in the field, such as Francis Collins are pessimistic about that timeframe.
In biology, Abiotic components are non-living chemical and physical factors in the environment. These may be classified as light, temperature, water, atmospheric gases, and wind as well as soil (edaphic) and physiographic (nature of land surface) factors.
