I’VE SEEN THIS MOVIE. IT DOESN’T GO WELL: Scientists Have Created a Cell from Scratch and Researchers Say ‘We Can Engineer It.’ “The cell, called SpudCell, was developed by researchers at the University of Minnesota, according to the scientific paper made public on Thursday, July 2. Unlike previous synthetic cells, which were created by modifying living cells, SpudCell was assembled entirely with nonliving chemicals.”

SpudCell?
