The evolution of early Earth was significantly influenced by collisions of planetary materials with Earth’s surface. It is generally accepted that these events modified the composition of Earth’s atmosphere and […]
Life on Earth is composed primarily of organic matter made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen with nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorous also playing key roles. Synthesizing organic carbon through the […]
Inorganic methods for synthesizing important life-forming molecules, such as amino acids, have been active fields of study for decades. Different “recipes” involve interactions between inorganic molecules (e.g., CH4, NH3, H2, […]
