From Methane to Complex Molecules: Gamma Radiaton's Potential Role in Life's Genesis A recent article in Angewandte Chemie International Edition  reveals that gamma radiation has the potential to transform methane into various  products at room tem perature, such as hydrocarbons, oxygen-rich molecules, and amino acids. This kind of reaction is believed to be  pivotal in forming com plex organic molecules throughout the universe,  possibly contributing to the emergence of life. It further  provides new industrial strategies for converting methane into valuable  products under mild conditions.
