    Is This Microbe Evolving Into a Virus Right Before Our Eyes?

    Historically, science has drawn a strict line between living cells and non-living viruses. Yet, a newly discovered microbe hidden inside a marine plankton is erasing that boundary. This biological anomaly has stripped away nearly every trait of a living organism, completely abandoning the ability to generate energy or process nutrients. By examining this state of…
