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 ...

Our experiment shows that the “microelectric discharges between oppositely charged water microdroplets make all the organic ...

It’s a pretty sure bet that anyone who survived high school biology has heard about the Miller-Urey experiment that supported the hypothesis that the chemistry of life could arise from Earth’s ...

The Miller-Urey experiment, as it is now known, ... Rather, they formed in space and were carried here by comets or fragments of asteroids, a process known as panspermia.

The new research, published in Science Advances, builds upon the landmark 1953 Miller-Urey experiment. Electrical exchanges between oppositely charged water droplets can result in the production ...

The origin of life on Earth stands as one of the great mysteries of science. To find out if we are alone in the galaxy, we will need to better understand what geochemical conditions nurtured the first ...
