A new study may have figured out how life on Earth actually began, and it all has to do with ancient hot springs.

A new study has revealed how hot springs may have contributed to the emergence of life on Earth. The research examined iron ...

A study suggests ancient hot springs, like Yellowstone's, may have supported reactions crucial for the birth of life on our planet.

Iron sulfides in hot springs around volcanic vents on land could have provided carbon in the form the earliest life needed to ...

A new study reveals iron sulfides in early Earth's hot springs catalyzed CO₂ reduction into organic molecules, potentially ...

Previous studies on iron sulfides and the origin of life have focused primarily on deep-sea alkaline hydrothermal vents. However, some scientists have proposed terrestrial hot springs as another ...

Their experiments showed that these iron sulfides could catalyze the H 2-driven reduction of CO 2 at specific temperatures (80–120 °C) and atmospheric pressure. Gas chromatography was used to ...
