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.

The experiment was popular with readers, but Cerasa couldn’t help appreciating that some of them flagged real articles as machine-made. These false positives, he said, revealed some of the practices ...

the Miller-Urey experiment, which used a laboratory device that replicated the early Earth to create lightning-like discharges and synthesize the amino acids that gave rise to life.

In the early 1950s, the Miller-Urey experiment showed that an electrical current could produce organic compounds from a best-guess reconstruction of the chemistry in Earth’s earliest oceans ...

How animate life was formed from inanimate matter has always been a mystery, but scientists are closer to finding what may have been the catalyst.

American chemist Stanley Miller, using original laboratory equipment, recreates the Miller-Urey experiment, which supported the scientific theory that life could emerge from nonliving molecules.

The Miller-Urey experiment, as it is now known, supported the scientific theory of abiogenesis: that life could emerge from nonliving molecules.
