This led to the birth of the Miller-Urey hypothesis, which suggests that life on Earth began when simple chemicals in the ...

Miller’s experiment seemed likely to lead to very major new discoveries. Near the end of his career 40+ years later he noted that it hadn’t happened as hoped or expected.

To answer that, Stanley Miller, who in 1952 was a graduate student of Harold Urey, devised an experiment to see if complex molecules could be formed from simpler substances under conditions ...

Miller and Urey combined ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4), hydrogen (H2) and water, enclosed their “atmosphere” inside a glass sphere and jolted it with electricity, producing simple amino acids ...

The Miller-Urey hypothesis is based on a famous 1952 experiment in which researchers successfully formed these organic molecules by applying an electrical current to a mixture of water and Earth ...

The team that flew Thursday will continue to test the Miller-Urey experiment, which involves the production of amino acids - the building blocks of proteins - from basic gases.
