As part of the event, ELSI hosted a laboratory open house titled \u201cThe Mystery of the Origin of Life,\u201d led by Professor Ryuhei Nakamura. Approximately 30 visitors, including parents, attended the session.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The event opened with introductory remarks from Professor Nakamura. ELSI graduate student Shunto Harada, a second-year Ph.D. student in the Nakamura Laboratory, then served as moderator. He introduced the laboratory\u2019s research on the origins of life, which investigates how energy generated by hydrothermal vents and naturally occurring mineral structures may have contributed to the emergence of life on Earth. In addition, in the laboratory, with the support of Professor Nakamura and Harada, Lu Yanjing (a second-year master\u2019s student) and Genki Nakagawa (a first-year master\u2019s student) from the Nakamura Laboratory conducted experimental demonstrations and provided explanations. Yang Zening, a second-year doctoral student in the Nakamura Laboratory, photographed the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10752,"template":"","news_events_cat":[7],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elsi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_events\/10754"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elsi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elsi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news_events"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elsi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elsi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"news_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elsi.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_events_cat?post=10754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
