Nobody knows how life got started here, but we're one step closer to learning how its vital components formed.
Iron particles, from meteorites or volcanic ash, could have catalyzed the chemical reactions that formed the building blocks of life over four billion years ago on Earth, a new study suggests.is estimated to be between 3.75 and 4.28 billion years old, but nobody really knows how or when life got a foothold on our planet.
One way of working toward an answer is to identify how the vital chemical building blocks for life — organic compounds that assemble into amino acids, proteins and eventually RNA andOliver Trapp, a professor of organic chemistry at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, realized that a process used in chemical engineering that turns carbon monoxide and hydrogen into hydrocarbons , using metallic particles as catalysts, could also have created the...
