Interfacial microenvironments enable abiotic ribonucleoside formation in micro- and nanoscale compartments.

The abiotic emergence of ribonucleosides remains a central challenge in origin-of-life research because ribonucleosides form inefficiently and are often unstable under prebiotically plausible conditions. Here we show that interfacial microenvironments within aqueous micro- and nanoscale compartments containing D-ribose...
