When the 'lightning' was turned on in Miller's experiment, the colorless, gaseous starting materials, over the course of days, gave rise to a rich and complex mixture of organic molecules that ...

In 1953, scientist Stanley Miller performed an experiment that ... hydrogen and water. This created organic compounds including amino acids. Making amino acids is tricky, even in the laboratory.

At the heart of the Miller-Urey experiment was a classic chicken-and-the-egg paradox: complex organic molecules like amino acids and nucleic acids are the necessary building blocks of life ...

The famous Miller-Urey experiment in 1953 validated ... The results showed that, in the absence of catalysts, hundreds of organic compounds were generated in supercritical fluids, with the ...
