In 1952, when still a graduate student, he circulated water, ammonia, methane and hydrogen, pass an electric discharge to simulate lightning and got complicated molecules associated with life such as amino acids. This experiment was one of the first great experiments which proved that life indeed could arise from non-living matter.
