Our understanding on the role of amorphous carbon in the interstellar medium to form
complex structures, such as carbon nanotube/graphene/fullerene, is limited to date. We …

Forms resembling sponges or coral were photographed in Gale crater, Mars by the Curiosity
rover 'Mars Hand Lens Imager'(MAHLI) on sol 3396 that may represent the result of either …

The fate of organometallic dust subjected to extreme conditions, especially the shock fronts,
in the interstellar medium (ISM) has not been explored to date. Iron and cyclopentadiene …

Prebiotic chemical evolution that led to the emergence of life on primitive Earth is interlinked
with the delivery of organic material through the impact of comets, asteroids and meteorites …

Over the years, crystallographic phase transitions of the polar and non-polar amino acids
under static high-pressure-temperature conditions have been well documented, especially …

Now there is a huge variety of scenarios of prebiotic chemical evolution, culminating in the
emergence of life on Earth, which demonstrates the obvious insufficiency of existing criteria …

Impact delivery of prebiotic compounds to the early Earth from an impacting comet is
considered to be one of the possible ways by which prebiotic molecules arrived on the …

Single crystals of l-alaninium maleate (LAM) were successfully grown by utilizing the
Sankaranarayanan–Ramasamy (SR) method. The cut and polished crystal of LAM was …

Glycine phosphite single crystals were grown by employing the slow evaporation solution
growth technique. Grown crystals were subjected to shock waves generated by a pressure …

Amino acids are among the earliest organic molecules to exist on Earth, and the origin of
such bio-molecules on Earth is still a topic of intense discussion in the associated scientific …
