Proteins before planets: How space ice may have created the 1st building blocks of life
"We used to think that only very simple molecules could be created in these clouds. But we have shown that this is clearly ...
New research suggests that essential components of life may assemble in interstellar space long before planets or oceans ...
New experiments reveal that protein precursors can form naturally in deep space under extreme cold and radiation. Scientists found that simple amino acids bond into peptides on interstellar dust, long ...
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have peered deep into one of the Milky Way's most radiation-intense star-forming regions, revealing that Earth-like planets can form even in ...
Much of the universe's regular "baryonic" matter is spread through intergalactic space and in diffuse halos around galaxies, researchers proposed after studying the behavior of fast radio bursts ...
