Impact-driven Synthesis

Impact-Driven Synthesis is a theoretical framework in chemical evolution that explains the formation of prebiotic molecules through energetic collisions between planetary bodies or interstellar particles, distinguishing itself by emphasizing mechanical impact as a primary energy source for abiotic chemical reactions rather than traditional sources such as radiation or thermal gradients.
