Reactions of Graphene Nano-Flakes in Materials Chemistry and Astrophysics

open access: yesPhyschem, 2022
The elucidation of the mechanism of the chemical evolution of the universe is one of the most important themes in astrophysics. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) provide a two-dimensional reaction field in a three-dimensional interstellar space ...

Chemical evolution of elliptical galaxies with a variable IMF [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2019
Growing evidence in recent years suggests a systematic variation of the stellar initial mass function (IMF), being top-heavy for starburst galaxies and possibly bottom-heavy for massive ellipticals.

Mapping the Galactic Metallicity Gradient with Open Clusters: The State-of-the-Art and Future Challenges

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
In this paper, we make use of data collected for open cluster members by high-resolution spectroscopic surveys and programmes (i.e., APOGEE, Gaia-ESO, GALAH, OCCASO, and SPA). These data have been homogenised and then analysed as a whole.

Chiral and Molecular Recognition through Protonation between Aromatic Amino Acids and Tripeptides Probed by Collision-Activated Dissociation in the Gas Phase

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
Chiral and molecular recognition through protonation was investigated through the collision-activated dissociation (CAD) of protonated noncovalent complexes of aromatic amino acid enantiomers with l-alanine- and l-serine-containing tripeptides using a ...

Origin of Life: The Point of No Return

open access: yesLife, 2020
Origin of life research is one of the greatest scientific frontiers of mankind. Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain how life began. Although different hypotheses emphasize different initial phenomena, all of them agree around one important ...

Volatile Organic Compounds of Bryophytes from Peninsular Malaysia and Their Roles in Bryophytes

open access: yesPlants, 2022
Volatile emissions from 22 bryophyte species from Peninsular Malaysia were collected using a dynamic headspace technique and analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Abundance gradients along the Galactic disc from chemical evolution models [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018
In this paper, we study the formation and chemical evolution of the Milky Way disc with particular focus on the abundance patterns ([$\alpha$/Fe] vs. [Fe/H]) at different Galactocentric distances, the present-time abundance gradients along the disc and ...

Refueling the Magic Furnace: Kilonova 2017 Rewrites the Story of Element Origins

open access: yesJournal of Big History, 2018
For more than half a century, we have understood element creation in the stars—described in Marcus Chown’s colorful image as “the magic furnace.” From 1958 until 2017, supernova explosions were thought to be the primary site of element creation above ...

The Chemical Evolution of the Galaxy [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1985
Over the last few years, our picture of the chemical evolution of the Galaxy has changed substantially. These changes are of interest because chemical evolution provides a common point of contact for most astrophysical processes of importance to galaxy evolution.

THE PROTOBIOLOGICAL THEORY OF CEILINGS AND FLOORS, OR CHEMICAL EVOLUTION AS A PLANETARY PROCESS [PDF]

open access: yesFilozofia i Nauka
The article presents a modern protobiological theory based on the classical archetype. It connects the issues of origins of life with the theory of the hierarchy of matter and recognizes that error correction occurs within hierarchical and dynamic living
