Unveiling the Origin of Life: New Insights and Urea's Secret Role
Researchers have used innovative X-ray spectroscopy to gain insights into the origins of life on Earth. By examining the ionization and reaction of urea molecules, which are essential for forming nucleo bases, the study sheds light on the pre-biotic stage when high-energy radiation from space interacted with organic compounds. The groundbreaking approach allowed scientists to investigate the intricate changes in urea molecules at the femtosecond level, providing a deeper understanding of the process and opening new possibilities in the field of attochemistry.
