Life may have originated in hot springs, and a study recreates those conditions using 3D printing.

The transition from simple chemistry to the complex biology of molecules that gave rise to life is a puzzle that scientists have been trying to solve for ages. A new study suggests that conditions on ...

Researchers have identified a new complex molecule in space called cyanocoronene. It is a type of hydrocarbon composed of multiple carbon rings. This kind of molecule, which is very stable, plays an ...

Earth may have won a cosmic chemistry lottery. Researchers found that during the planet’s earliest formation, oxygen had to be in an extremely narrow “Goldilocks zone” for two life-essential elements, ...
