The Spontaneous Formation of Urea: A Scientific Breakthrough

In a groundbreaking study that could reshape our understanding of prebiotic chemistry and the origins of life on Earth, researchers from ETH Zurich have unveiled a previously unknown pathway by which urea—the fundamental organic compound critical to both industrial applications and biological systems—can form under ambient environmental conditions. This discovery challenges longstanding assumptions by demonstrating […]
