Sparks were sent through the air in a simulation of lightning.
The chemicals were sealed inside a system of sterile tubes and flasks which were connected in a loop. Sparks were sent through the air in a simulation of lightning. Methane, ammonia, hydrogen and lightning were meant to simulate the conditions of an early Earth. After a week, 2% of the carbon had turned into amino acids including 13 out of the 21 amino acids used to make proteins in living cells. FTP, name this origin of life experiment conducted in 1953 by its namesakes at the University of Chicago.
