    Challenging long-held assumptions, Aarhus University
    researchers have demonstrated that the protein
    building blocks essential for life as we know it can
    form readily in space. This discovery, appearing in
    Nature Astronomy, significantly raises the
    statistical probability of finding extraterrestrial
    life.

    In a modern laboratory at Aarhus University and at
    an international European facility in Hungary
    (HUN-REN Atomki), researchers Sergio Ioppolo and
    Alfred Thomas Hopkinson conduct pioneering
    experiments. Within a small chamber, the two
    scientists have mimicked the environment found in
    giant dust clouds thousands of light-years away.
    This is no easy feat.
    ...

    So pre-life knowledge advances.
