  Sydney, Australia (SPX) Dec 04, 2024 A recent study has revealed how iron sulfides may have influenced the emergence of life on early Earth by catalyzing the formation of prebiotic organic molecules in terrestrial hot springs. This research, conducted by an international team, suggests that these minerals played a pivotal role in converting gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) into essential organic compounds through nonenzymatic chemical pathways. Published in Nature Communications, the study explores Earth's ancient carbon cycles and the c ... read more |
