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.
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.
