How the Building Blocks of Life Arrived on Earth Through Primitive Asteroids



London, UK (SPX) Oct 10, 2024
Recent research into the origins of Earth's volatile elements has revealed that without the contributions of unmelted primitive asteroids, the necessary compounds for life might not have been delivered to our planet. A new study led by researchers at the University of Cambridge and Imperial College London has used zinc isotopic signatures in meteorites to trace the sources of these critical volatiles, providing insight into how the building blocks of life arrived on Earth. Volatiles are compounds ... read more
