A new study suggests primordial hot springs could have helped produce life from key molecules found within them.
Researchers at Newcastle University looked at how the earliest known life on Earth emerged from geological materials more than 3.5 billion years ago.
They mixed bicarbonate, hydrogen, and iron-rich magnetite under the same conditions you would find in a hot spring or hydrothermal vent.
The study was funded by the Natural Environmental Research Council.
