Exopoiesis Research

Designing self-maintaining inorganic systems at the boundary between chemistry and biology.

We study whether iron sulfide minerals — the same materials found at deep-sea hydrothermal vents — can be engineered into a minimal system that maintains itself without being alive.


Current work

Project Description Status
digital-twin ORACLE pipeline: Sobol/Gillespie + FNO/PINN surrogate for protocell viability Active
sulfide-proton-barriers NEB/MD calculations of H⁺ diffusion in iron sulfides Preliminary results
exopoiesis.space Project website Live

Key results so far

  • Pentlandite blocks protons: E_a = 1.43 eV (MACE-MP-0 NEB, 2×2×2 supercell)
  • Mackinawite conducts protons in-plane: E_a = 0.44 eV — 10¹⁷× anisotropy
  • Bilayer membrane architecture enables spontaneous electrochemistry at ΔpH ≥ 2.3
