Grad Student Homebrews Cosmic Dust in the Lab
In outer space, floating between the stars, are cosmic dust clouds containing elements and molecules that are essential for the evolution of life. While these dust clouds are too far away to sample by conventional means, astronomers can tell their chemical composition based on their unique infrared signature. Unfortunately, the only way to get a close-up look at interstellar matter is by waiting for a chunk of it to crash to Earth. Nautilus Me…
This Student Made Cosmic Dust In Her Lab. What She Found Could Help Us Understand How Life Started On Earth - Astrobiology
A Sydney PhD student has recreated a tiny piece of the Universe inside a bottle in her laboratory, producing cosmic dust from scratch. The results shed new light on how the chemical building blocks of life may have formed long before Earth existed. Linda Losurdo, a PhD candidate in materials and plasma physics in the […] The post This Student Made Cosmic Dust In Her Lab.

In a Sydney lab, a master's student took a mixture of gases and applied a high-voltage pulse to it. This produced microscopic dust particles nearly identical to the material found in comets and meteorites. And from this, researchers can learn a great deal about how life on Earth originated. The method of […] Want more science? Read the latest articles on Scientias.nl .
