Proton gradients and pH oscillations emerge from heat flow at the microscale
Proton motive forces are central for life but it is not well understood how these pH gradients emerged at the beginning of life. Here the authors show that heat flow across a water-filled chamber forms and sustains stable pH gradients and support their experimental findings with simulations.
