This work leverages vortex‐generated microdroplets to encapsulate condensates and quantify their volumes and concentrations. Compared to conventional bulk methods, the technique substantially reduces sample volume, cost, and processing time. Its broad utility sheds light on a wide range of applications, particularly those that require high‐throughput ...

A thermodynamic basis for prebiotic amino acid synthesis and the nature of the first genetic code
Of the twenty amino acids used in proteins, ten were formed in Miller's atmospheric discharge experiments. The two other major proposed sources of prebiotic amino acid synthesis include formation in hydrothermal vents and delivery to Earth via meteorites.

Introduction. Prebiotic factor, such as inulin, is able to stimulate the growth of bifidobacteria selectively at the expense of more putrefactive bacteria. Chemical structure - Inulin has been defined as carbohydrate material consisting of ? (2-1) fructosyl-fructose links.

Chemical gardens are self‐assembled architectures with “life‐like” morphologies that form in the absence of any biological activity. Here we show that such structures can also be obtained by contacting reservoirs of calcium and sulfate ions, under conditions that plausibly emulate those prevailing on early Mars.

Origin of symbol-using systems: speech, but not sign, without the semantic urge [PDF]
Natural language—spoken and signed—is a multichannel phenomenon, involving facial and body expression, and voice and visual intonation that is often used in the service of a social urge to communicate meaning.

Application of Co-bioprocessing Techniques (Enzymatic Hydrolysis and Fermantation) for Improving the Nutritional Value of Wheat Bran as Food Functional Ingrediens [PDF]
Last time the food industry pays the great attention to questions, connected with changing existing technologies for raising the efficacy of the raw materials complex processing and increasing the output of high-quality products and food ingredients with

The Future of Prebiotic Chemistry
Two recent papers reporting advances in our understanding of how a protometabolism may have developed in a prebiotic world add new meaning to the theme “First Reactions” and highlight the challenges facing synthetic organic chemists attempting to retrodict the origins of life.

The Origin of the Feedstock Molecules for Life on the Hadean Earth
The origin of life in the Hadean eon required the formation of amino acids and nucleosides among the key molecules of life. In an often postulated strongly reducing atmosphere, HCN and its derivatives are robustly formed as plausible starting molecules. But HCN does not form in a Hadean, weakly reducing atmosphere.
