The study, led by the University of Bern, focuses on the processes that allow fine dust to coalesce into larger structures, potentially forming planetesimals.
Collaborators include ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich, indicating a strong interdisciplinary approach to understanding planetary formation.
The findings, published on March 17, 2026, may have significant implications for our understanding of the early stages of planet development in various celestial environments.
