Fluctuations in ancient Earth’s environment might have propelled the chemical complexity that laid the foundation for life.

New research shows that fluctuating environmental conditions helped chemical mixtures self-organize and evolve in structured ...

A new study explores how complex chemical mixtures change under shifting environmental conditions, shedding light on the ...

Chemical evolution refers to the gradual transformation of molecules in prebiotic conditions, a key process in understanding how life may have arisen from non-living matter. While much research ...

A new study explores how complex chemical mixtures change under shifting environmental conditions, shedding light on the prebiotic processes that may ...

Prebiotics break down into small molecules that enter blood circulation. For this reason, they have an impact beyond your gut ...

The research team simulated early Earth conditions by exposing mixtures of organic molecules to repeated wet-dry cycles, and observed continuous transformation, selective organization, and ...

Molecules friendly to life have been found in samples of the asteroid Bennu, which NASA collected with a robotic probe five years ago.

One leading theory on the origins of life on Earth proposes that simple chemical molecules gradually became more complex, ultimately forming ...

One leading theory on the origins of life on Earth proposes that simple chemical molecules gradually became ... under a wider range of realistic prebiotic conditions than previously thought.
