Researchers at the University of Sydney recreated cosmic dust to study how life’s building blocks reached Earth.
PhD candidate Linda Losurdo produced the dust using plasma inside a vacuum chamber.
Cosmic dust carries organic CHON molecules linked to early life.
Scientists hope the lab-made dust explains how meteorites gained organic material.
The work offers clues about star death, planet formation, and life’s beginnings.
