Star-forming regions show a rich and varied chemistry, including the presence of complex
organic molecules—in both the cold gas distributed on large scales and the hot regions …

The interstellar medium is characterized by a rich and diverse chemistry. Many of its
complex organic molecules are proposed to form through radical chemistry in icy grain …

To date, 204 individual molecular species, comprised of 16 different elements, have been
detected in the interstellar and circumstellar medium by astronomical observations. These …

The current industrial ammonia synthesis relies on Haber–Bosch process that is initiated by
the dissociative mechanism, in which the adsorbed N2 dissociates directly, and thus is …

A new, more comprehensive model of gas–grain chemistry in hot molecular cores is
presented, in which nondiffusive reaction processes on dust-grain surfaces and in ice …

To date, 241 individual molecular species, composed of 19 different elements, have been
detected in the interstellar and circumstellar medium by astronomical observations. These …

Context. The inner regions of the envelopes surrounding young protostars are characterized
by a complex chemistry, with prebiotic molecules present on the scales where …

We present the first detection of (Z)-1, 2-ethenediol,(CHOH) 2, the enol form of
glycolaldehyde, in the interstellar medium toward the G+ 0.693− 0.027 molecular cloud …

Cell membranes are a key element of life because they keep the genetic material and
metabolic machinery together. All present cell membranes are made of phospholipids, yet …

The detection of the amino acid glycine and its amine precursor methylamine on the comet
67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by the Rosetta mission provides strong evidence for a cosmic …
