A Sydney Ph.D. student has recreated a tiny piece of the universe inside a bottle in her laboratory, producing cosmic dust ...

A doctoral researcher in Australia has successfully recreated cosmic dust inside a laboratory, offering a new way to study ...

The lab-made cosmic dust shows the same infrared signals as the dust found in outer space.

A doctoral student from the University of Sydney’s School of Physics re-created a little bit of the universe in a bottle.

Cold cosmic dust grains can link amino acids into protein‑like chains in deep space, suggesting life’s chemistry may begin ...

Interstellar dust like that seen in the Carina Nebula may have supplied some of Earth's amino acids. Earlier studies have revealed high concentrations of these organic materials in asteroids and ...

What processes other than water and energy could be responsible for creating life on other worlds? This is what a recent study published in the International Journal of Astrobiology hopes to address ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Cosmic radiation could be a boon for subsurface life on worlds such as Europa (left), Mars (center) and Enceladus (right), ...

A new paper proposes the possibility that life in subsurface environments -- places where photosynthesis is a non-starter -- could eke out a living by feeding upon cosmic rays. Share on Facebook ...

By creating a 'little bit of the Universe in a bottle' in her lab, a PhD student in physics has reverse-engineered the ...

The traditional astrophysical recipe for life as we know it is quite simple: Get a rocky, gas-shrouded world in a “habitable zone” orbit around a star so that it’s not too hot or too cold. Then just ...
