This is molecular-scale stuff, but the ideas are huge.
James didn't believe in consciousness per se, by which he meant that it should not be addressed as some sort of extra-molecular mind-stuff.
"When the ejecta hits the molecular cloud, the lumpy stuff in the clouds gets smashed into sheets that appear as long filaments," Dr. Chu said.
Nonetheless, "this is great stuff," says molecular evolutionist Alan Cooper of the University of Adelaide, Australia.
The idea has long been the stuff of science fiction, but researchers are now decoding the molecular details of how memories are formed and how they are lost.

Many substances of multi-phase nature and/or of high molecular weight are frequently encountered in disciplinary fields such as chemical engineering, food stuff, bio-medicine and so forth, and are also closely related to industrial processes.
Yes, because if we were to look at ourselves at molecular level the entire creation is made up of pretty much the same stuff, a collection of molecules being attracted (or repelled) and forming shapes solid or otherwise.
To let you in on a secret, the entire field of molecular biology is basically just the study of the secret handshakes between tiny bits of stuff, and that's exactly what is happening here.
Several years ago, molecular biologist Peixuan Guo's team at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, discovered that, for one virus called phi29, the stuffing job falls to pRNA.
