Abstract
The SEM and XRD data show an unprecedented arc fabrication of spherical monoclinic crystals of nano dihydroxyacetone dimer (C6H12O6) from graphite, with a grape cluster morphology, in the size range of 40 to 150 nm, in the open air, providing another clue for the proposed arc discharge origin of organics and/or life.
Keywords: Nano, C6H12O6, origin of life, dihydroxyacetone dimer, arc, open air
