Abstract

The article discusses the biological research of Stanley Miller concerning the formation of nucleobase compounds within cold environments rather than warm ones. Details are given regarding his experiments in freezing cyanide and ammonia for 25 years and his discovery of accelerated chemical reactions. The evolutionary implications of the research are also mentioned, citing possible theories of life forming in ice rather than temperate climates.
