We are stardust, the result of chemistry occurring throughout vast clouds of interstellar gas and dust.

To better understand how that chemistry could create prebiotic molecules, researchers investigated the role of low-energy electrons created as cosmic radiation traverses through ice particles.

Their findings may also inform medical and environmental applications on our home planet.

The research was funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation , Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation , Wellesley College Faculty Awards , Brachman Hoffman grants, and the Nancy Harrison Kolodny '64 Professorship. Story Source: Cite This Page:.
