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

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

The typical size of atoms and small molecules is around 1 × 10-10 m (0.1 nm). For example: diameter of a hydrogen atom, H 1.0 × 10-10 m width of a hydrogen molecule, H 2 2.9 × 10-10 m ...

Photosynthesis is one of the most efficient natural processes for converting light energy from the sun into chemical ... hydrogen fuel. Now, she and her team have been able to see the structure ...
