Chemical Loop May Explain How Life Began on Earth
Original: Scientists Find a Strange Chemical Loop That May Have Helped Life Get Started https://www. sciencealert.com/scientists-f
Researchers have identified an unusual self-sustaining chemical cycle that could shed light on the origin of life, according to a report on the finding. The discovery suggests certain looped reactions may have been able to sustain themselves on the early Earth, a key requirement for chemistry to become biology. The result is drawing attention from science readers interested in how life first emerged.
Why now: New research on the chemical origins of life has just been published, sparking interest in abiogenesis.
