Stanley L. Miller

Stanley L. Miller, the father of prebiotic chemistry – the synthetic organic chemistry that takes place under natural conditions in geocosmochemical environments – passed away on May 20, 2007 at age 77 after a lengthy illness. Stanley was known world-wide for his experimental demonstration of the synthesis of organic compounds with relevance to the origin of life. On May 15, 1953, while Miller was a graduate student of Harold C. Urey at the University of Chicago, he published a short paper in Science on the prebiotic synthesis of amino acids under simulated early Earth conditions. This paper and the experiment it described had a tremendous impact and immediately transformed the study of the origin of life into a respectable field of inquiry.

Stanley Lloyd Miller was born in March 7, 1930, in Oakland, California, the second child (the first was his brother Donald) of Nathan and Edith Miller, descendants of Jewish immigrants from Belarus and Latvia. Both parents attended the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), where they met. S

Stanley Miller

American scientist (1930–2007)

This article is about the American chemist. For the American artist of the same name, see Stanley Mouse.

Stanley Lloyd Miller (March 7, 1930 – May 20, 2007) was an American chemist who made important experiments concerning the origin of life by demonstrating that a wide range of vital organic compounds can be synthesized by fairly simple chemical processes from inorganic substances. In 1952 he performed the Miller–Urey experiment, which showed that complex organic molecules could be synthesised from inorganic precursors. The experiment was widely reported, and provided evidence for the idea that the chemical evolution of the early Earth had caused the natural synthesis of organic compounds from inanimate inorganic molecules.^[1]^[2]^[3]
