To make amino acids, just add electricity

By finding the right combination of abundantly available starting materials and catalyst, researchers were able to synthesize amino acids with high efficiency through a reaction driven by electricity. Simpler and less resource intensive than current production methods, processes like this may one day be used in resource-restricted conditions to produce the amino acids necessary for living -- even in space or on other planets.
