Summary:
Researchers have created cosmic dust from scratch by recreating space-like conditions inside glass tubes.
The dust contains complex carbon-rich molecules built from elements essential to life and produces infrared
signals similar to real material found in space.
By studying these laboratory samples, scientists can explore how organic chemistry unfolds around stars and
how comets, asteroids and meteorites may have carried those ingredients to Earth.
