A groundbreaking study reveals how microscopic lightning, or microlightning, within water droplets may have played a crucial role in the formation of amino acids, the building blocks of life. This research updates the iconic Miller-Urey experiment and suggests a more frequent mechanism for producing life's essential molecules.
A groundbreaking study suggests that microlightning between charged water droplets may have generated amino acids, potentially sparking the origins of life on Earth. This research builds on the historic Miller-Urey experiment, revealing new insights into how life could have emerged from non-living molecules.
New research from Stanford University suggests that crashing waves and waterfalls might have sparked the origins of life by generating microlightning, leading to the synthesis of vital molecules.
