A new study demonstrates how meteoritic and volcanic particles promote 'origin of life' reactions.
Alternatively, they could have been created through reactions taking place in the early Earth's atmosphere and oceans, such as
Formation of prebiotic key organic matter from CO2 by catalysis with meteoritic and volcanic particles.In the new study, Oliver Trapp and colleagues aimed to explore whether meteorite or ash particles deposited on volcanic islands may have aided in atmospheric carbon dioxide's conversion to the precursors.
By introducing either hydrogen gas or water to the device, they simulated both wet and dry climate conditions. They also added minerals that could have existed during the early stages of Earth's formation, commonly found in the Earth's crust, meteorites, or asteroids. Ultimately, the researchers tested different combinations of these materials in their system.
