How could magmatic liquid immiscibility help to solve early Earth's phosphate problem? In a great collaboration with Daniel Weller and @irissmokers.bsky.social, we show how phosphate can be enriched in volcanic melts to fuel prebiotic chemistry.

Magmatic immiscibility provides phosphate for prebiotic chemistry
Volcanic immiscibility provides a key mechanism to enrich phosphate, fueling prebiotic chemistry.

[RDV 16h !] Reproduire les processus d'émergence de la vie, sur des puces artificielles ! 🔬
La microfluidique peut-elle nous permettre de reproduire les prémices de l'apparition de la vie ? tinyurl.com/25uortw4 avec Philippe Nghe et Grégoire Danger #ScienceCQFD
La vie sur puce : une micro-révolution dans l'évolution ?
Depuis l’antiquité, nous sommes fascinés par une question qui nous élude encore : l'origine de la vie. Malgré les progrès de la biologie, et la découverte de mécanismes comme l’évolution ou la généti...

Excited to share our latest publication in NatureComms on how heat flows unlock apatite as prebiotic phosphate source and up-concentrate dilute leached phosphate www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Very grateful to all amazing coauthors!
Heat flows solubilize apatite to boost phosphate availability for prebiotic chemistry - Nature Communications
Heat flows through rock cracks drive the permanent solubilization of phosphate from apatite and its accumulation from phosphate bearing geomaterials, offering a non-equilibrium pathway to approach the...
