Sulfur Crowns (IMAGE)
Caption
Clouds of cosmic dust and gas contain many of the building blocks needed for life, but sulfur is mysteriously rare. One of the most common forms of sulfur is S8, a ring of sulfur atoms that form a crown-like structure. A team of astrochemists, including an Ole Miss researcher, has discovered that the crowns may help point scientists in the right direction.
