Experiment shows complex molecules can form on space dust — offering new clues to the origins of life
The complex building blocks of life can form spontaneously in space, a new lab experiment shows.
A team of researchers studied the properties of membranes to understand how these cellular structures influenced the chemistry of life on Earth as it began. How life arose remains a looming question ...
A research team investigated how the emergence of the first living systems from inert geological materials happened on the Earth, more than 3.5 billion years ago. Scientists found that by mixing ...
NASA's robotic vehicle has found unprecedentedly large organic molecules on the red planet, although scientists have not been able to determine their origin. They were formed 3.7 billion years ago ...
In living organisms today, complex molecules like RNA and DNA are constructed with the help of enzymes. So how did these molecules form before life (and enzymes) existed? Why did some molecules end up ...
