Popis: Autocatalysis is common in chemistry, biophysics and material science, but existing approaches are unable to fully capture the physical mechanisms behind it. Here, the authors exploit a limited valence patchy particle model and reveal a novel kinetic effect crucially related to the presence of activation barriers.
