Lab produces building blocks to DNA and RNA in deep space conditions

The synthetic production of a critical building block called methanediamine for the first time, by researchers in University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s Department of Chemistry, could lead to key insights into the origins of life. The researchers have discovered a method to produce it in a lab under conditions that mimic icy interstellar nanoparticles in cold molecular clouds in space.
