H3+, known as "the molecule that made the universe," plays a crucial role in interstellar chemistry and the birth of stars.

Two new catalyst systems take aim at these problems. One catalyst splits ethanol to give hydrogen at 270 °C and produces ...

Stars emerge from vast regions of gas and dust known as molecular clouds. These stellar nurseries, often spanning hundreds of ...

Astronomers have discovered that many infant stars born in stellar nurseries of the early universe may have preferred "fluffy" stellar blankets.

Stars form in regions of space known as stellar nurseries, where high concentrations of gas and dust coalesce to form a baby ...

Researchers at MSU found that H₃⁺ can form in unexpected ways. They studied molecules hit by high-energy light.

Astronomers for the first time have deciphered the three-dimensional structure of the atmosphere of a planet beyond our solar ...

Astronomers have peered through the atmosphere of a planet beyond the Solar System, mapping its 3D structure for the first ...

A research team from the University of Science and Technology of China has introduced a new chemical battery system which ...

IT is usually considered that molecular hydrogen does not have an infra-red rotation-vibration spectrum. However, such a spectrum may be expected as a forbidden transition made possible by the ...
