Concocting the primordial soup On May 15, 1953, a landmark paper ‘A Production of Amino Acids Under Possible Primitive Earth Conditions’ by Stanley Miller appeared in Science. This paper ...

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. A new study ...

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

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.

The researchers mixed ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen in a glass bulb, then sprayed the gases with water mist, using a high-speed camera to capture faint flashes of microlightning in the ...

One of the leading theories, first proposed by American scientists Stanley Miller and Harold C. Urey back in 1953, suggests that atmospheric lightning may have kickstarted the production of amino ...

The seminal 1952 Miller-Urey experiment sent jolts of electricity through a flask of water and gases intended to represent early Earth’s atmosphere, and found that certain amino acids and other ...

The theory states that a lightning bolt struck the ocean, triggering a chemical chain reaction that transformed inorganic compounds into organic ones. That scenario, called the Miller-Urey hypothesis, ...
