Scientists May Have Solved the Missing Sulfur Mystery in Star-Forming Clouds
A new simulation suggests sulfur in star-forming clouds may be locked inside icy dust grains through previously overlooked chemical reactions. The findings offer fresh clues to a decades-old cosmic mystery and could improve our understanding of life's essential ingredients in space.
