  Berlin, Germany (SPX) Mar 26, 2025 Phosphorus, alongside nitrogen and carbon, forms one of the fundamental building blocks for life on Earth. It is integral to DNA, RNA, and ATP-molecules essential for storing genetic information and fueling cellular processes. Yet despite its biological importance, phosphorus is comparatively scarce near Earth's surface, both today and in the distant past. This scarcity presents a major question for researchers: how could life have emerged in an environment lacking sufficient phosphorus? Laborator ... read more |
