    Summary:
    Who are we? Why are we here? 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.
