Scientists uncover a groundbreaking theory: tiny space dust particles could be the key to creating lifes building blocks. A team from Heriot-Watt University, Germany, and the US found that mineral dust facilitates reactions between carbon dioxide and ammonia, leading to the formation of ammonium carbamate, a crucial step in lifes chemistry. This research suggests that dust grains play a more active role in space chemistry than previously thought, potentially explaining how life could emerge in harsh cosmic conditions.
