Researchers from the University of Cambridge have shown how comets could deliver molecular building blocks for life to other planets in the galaxy. Comets traveling at slow speeds could be passed or "bounced" from the orbit of one planet to another in closely orbiting systems, eventually crashing onto a planet's surface and delivering intact molecules. Comets are known to contain prebiotic molecules, such as amino acids and vitamin B3, which are essential for the origins of life. The study suggests that such systems would be promising places to search for life outside our solar system.

Nanoblock, a smaller and cheaper alternative to Lego, has gained popularity as a fun and affordable option for building enthusiasts. These tiny building blocks, which are an eighth of the size of Lego, offer a similar building experience but at a fraction of the cost. While the instructions may not be as good as Lego's, and the knock-off versions may have some quality issues, the joy of building with Nanoblock and its knock-offs outweighs these drawbacks. The availability of Nanoblock internationally has improved, but Chinese knock-offs still dominate the market. Despite the ethical concerns of buying knock-offs, it is legal to purchase them, and they offer a wide range of unique and bizarre building sets that are not available in official versions. Overall, Nanoblock and its knock-offs provide a satisfying building experience for a fraction of the price of Lego.
