A missing link in the timeline of Earth’s chemistry may have been found

A missing piece of Earth’s evolutionary timeline may have been found. Using computational modeling, a team of scientists explored how working backwards from modern biochemistry could help map out how simple, non-living chemicals present on early Earth gave rise to complex molecules that led to the emergence of life as we know it. Researchers believe […]
