The study of astrochemistry delves into the formation, evolution and destruction of molecules across the vast expanses of the interstellar medium (ISM). Within these regions—from cold dark ...

Astrochemistry: The study of chemical processes and reactions in astronomical environments, particularly within interstellar clouds and circumstellar regions.

Molecular abundances are crucial for obtaining information about interstellar objects, spanning from molecular clouds to star-forming regions and planetary atmospheres. In this context, the importance ...

The precursors of heavy elements might arise in the plasma underbellies of swollen stars or in smoldering stellar corpses.

Stars forming in a variety of star-forming environments exhibit associated magnetized jets and winds. These outflows are dynamic and highly energetic ...

Chenoa is a researcher at SETI Institute and uses spectroscopy, the interactions of light and matter, to look for molecules in the gas layers around stars which underpin a search for signs of life ...

Cambridge, MA - Astronomers have found a rare form of methanol, a type of alcohol, in a planet-forming disk, providing a critical step in understanding how life beyond Earth may form. This result ...

The Polish Academy of Sciences, headquartered in Warsaw, is one of two Polish institutions having the nature of an academy of sciences. The Polish Academy of Sciences (Polish: Polska Akademia Nauk ...

Marina Barcenilla was studying the chemical makeup of interstellar bodies when she realized she could marry her two passions — space and scent.
