A quiet, glowing gas cloud has been hiding in plain sight not far from Earth. For decades, astronomers have predicted that some of the galaxy’s molecular gas — the fuel for star birth — might be ...

This new research advances our understanding of suitable environments for natural hydrogen generation,” said Sascha Brune, ...

Hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) is a powerful methodology to study protein–small molecule interactions, however, to accurately probe the conformational dynamics of the protein ...

"The new brown dwarfs are the least massive known brown dwarfs. They place a new constraint on the lowest mass at which brown dwarfs exist." ...

The cloud, named Eos, is chock-full of molecular hydrogen and possibly rife with star-forming potential in the future.

Molecular clouds are vast cosmic entities that often stretch for hundreds of light-years, and scientists just discovered a massive one lurking in our celestial neighborhood.

A vast star-forming cloud of molecular hydrogen that is one of the largest single structures in the sky has been discovered hidden near the solar system.

For this work, the scientists employed a different approach. "This is the first-ever molecular cloud discovered by looking for far ultraviolet emission of molecular hydrogen directly," Burkhart said.

Molecular clouds are composed of gas and dust – with the most common molecule being hydrogen, the fundamental building block of stars and planets and essential for life.

An international team led by a Rutgers University astrophysicist has discovered a vast, potentially star-forming cloud of molecular hydrogen.

Long invisible to astronomers, the newly-discovered molecular cloud is one of the largest single structures in the sky and among the closest to the Sun and Earth ever to be detected. Molecular clouds ...
