New research suggests the "hot spot" for the formation of macromolecules may be so-called "dust traps" in protoplanetary disks of matter around infant stars.

The team wanted to know if the radiation that starlight brings to these areas could cause complex macromocules to form.

The model was based on observational data collected by the Atacama Large Millimeter /submillimeter Array (ALMA).

The team's research was published on Tuesday ( July 30 ) in the journal Nature Astronomy .
