    Scientists just found a chilling way life may have begun

    Summary:
    New experiments suggest that freezing and thawing on early Earth may have helped primitive cell-like structures grow and evolve.
    Tiny lipid bubbles behaved very differently depending on their membrane makeuprCosome fused into larger compartments and captured DNA more efficiently.
    These fusion events could have mixed key molecules, setting the stage for more complex chemistry.
