Process that might have led to first organic molecules: New research could have relevance to search for extraterrestrial life, green chemistry — ScienceDaily

The process, which is similar to what might have occurred in some ancient underwater hydrothermal vents, may also have relevance to the search for life elsewhere in the universe.
