Advertisement Revealing the Dark Universe  It's a sobering thought: all the matter that has ever been detected accounts for a mere 4.9% of the Universe. Most of the cosmos is the dark universe, a mix of dark matter and dark energy. Both have so far proved impenetrable puzzles, but physicists young and old are intent on changing that.  Access the FREE Outlook for six months.

Studying out-of-equilibrium chemical systems may take us closer to an answer. Correspondence Top Measuring conductivity of living Geobacter sulfurreducens biofilms   pp910 - 913 Matthew D.
