Researchers say lab-made cosmic dust could reveal how life’s building blocks reached Earth.
At the University of Sydney, physicist Linda Losurdo recreated cosmic dust from scratch.
Cosmic dust forms around dying stars and carries organic CHON molecules essential for life.
Losurdo simulated space conditions using vacuum tubes, gases, and high-voltage plasma.
Scientists hope the work explains why meteorites contain organic matter.
Experts say the method could help model early life formation on planets.
