Researchers at Sweden’s Chalmers College of Expertise report that poisonous hydrogen cyanide (HCN) might have helped create the “seeds of life” on Earth. In laptop fashions of chilly environments, HCN freezes into strong crystals whose multi-faceted ideas act as mini “cobweb” reactors. These icy aspects are extremely reactive, enabling chemical pathways not usually attainable in such chilly situations. The researchers say these reactions might have began a cascade that gave rise to a number of constructing blocks of life.
