Life's origins have always been a scientific puzzle. Understanding the production of
biomolecules is crucial for understanding the evolution of life on Earth. Numerous studies on …

In this review, we detail the commonality of mathematical intuitions that underlie three
numerical methods used for the quantitative description of electron swarms propagating in a …

This work proposes a complete and consistent set of cross sections (CS) for electron
collisions with water gas molecules to be published in the IST-Lisbon database on LXCat …

Abstract The seminal Miller‐Urey experiment suggests that lightning may have contributed
to the origin of life on Earth through the formation of amino acids and carbon acids. We here …

Benchmark calculations are reported for anisotropic scattering in Boltzmann equation
solvers and Monte Carlo collisional models of electron swarms in gases. The work focuses …

The effect of a static electric field ionization on the neutral hydrogen molecule H 2 confined
in a spherical potential well is studied, as a simple model for the chemical activation of …

Discharge plasmas, recognized as unique platforms for investigating the origins of chemical
life, have garnered extensive interest for their potential to simulate prebiotic conditions. This …

The Miller–Urey experiment demonstrated the possibility of producing biomolecules from the
chemical components of the primordial atmosphere, using an electric discharge. It …

This paper represents a thermodynamic and chemical reactivity study regarding the possible
formation of four proteinogenic amino acids: glutamic acid, glutamine, lysine and arginine …
