Science Nation: How Did Life on Earth Begin?

3D model of the connection of polymers. Caption: the molecules that gave rise to the first polymers of life,

With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Georgia Tech biochemist Nicholas Hud and a team at the Center for Chemical Evolution (CCE) are working to chip away at how life on earth began. They are homing in on how chain-like chemicals called polymers first came together and evolved three-and-a-half to four billion years ago. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
