Methane (CH [Formula: see text]) is common in fluids sourced from low-temperature hydrating (serpentinizing) peridotites, but the carbon sources, rates, and mechanisms of CH [Formula: see text] formation are uncertain. In CH [Formula: see text] dissolved in gr…

Current paradigms for the origin and evolutions of life and the environment on early Earth have been based on the premises that carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and nitrogen gas (N 2 ) were the principal constituents of the atmosphere and the sources of carbon and nitro…

Previous studies have documented the presence of phosphite, a reduced and highly soluble form of phosphorus, in serpentinites, which has led to the hypothesis that serpentinizing hydrothermal vents could have been an important source of bioavailable phosphorus…

Before the invention of encoded protein translation, early stages of life likely relied on catalytic RNAs (ribozymes). To test how such a system could have functioned, researchers have developed ribozymes that could have provided central functions. The central…
