Nanodust in the Interstellar Medium in Comparison to the Solar System
Nanodust, which undergoes stochastic heating by single starlight photons in the interstellar medium, ranges from angstrom-sized large molecules containing tens to thousands of atoms (e.g.

Molecules with a planar tetracoordinate carbon atom serve as reactive intermediates for carbenes. While isomer 2 has been identified in the laboratory, isomer 5 remains elusive to date. Here, four stationary points with a planar tetracoordinate carbon (ptC) atom that are considered as anti‐van't Hoff Le Bel molecules have been computationally ...

Molecules in interstellar space [PDF]
Astrochemistry Chemistry in space occurs wherever gas is dense and cool enough for chemical bonds to form, producing a wide variety of molecules. These are particularly common in the gas clouds that provide the raw material for star and planet formation. McGuire has cataloged all molecules detected in the interstellar and circumstellar medium.

The presence of interstellar complex organic molecules (COMs) has been baffling astrochemists for a long time. Methyl formate and glycolaldehyde are widely detected but their abundances mismatch kinetic astrochemical model predictions. Here, the formation of these two COMs is characterized onto a mixed ice surface, highlighting the importance of ...

Chemical Evolution of Some Selected Complex Organic Molecules in Low-mass Star-forming Regions
The destiny of complex organic molecules (COMs) in star-forming regions is interlinked with various evolutionary phases. Therefore, identifying these species in diversified environments of identical star-forming regions would help to understand their ...

The composition of the protosolar disk and the formation conditions for comets [PDF]
Conditions in the protosolar nebula have left their mark in the composition of cometary volatiles, thought to be some of the most pristine material in the solar system.

Formation Mechanism for Interstellar Molecules [PDF]
The gas phase production of molecules in dust clouds in interstellar space may occur largely as H2 formation on the interstellar grains, with relatively minor formation in the gas phase. The formation of more complex molecules, however, may be augmented by gas phase processes including (1) negative ions formed by radiative attachment of electrons, (2 ...

Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Tautomerization Reactions of 1,1‐ and 1,2‐Ethenediols
ABSTRACT Tautomerism is a common phenomenon amongst organic molecules with easily interconvertible isomers, which can impact drug action and toxicity. Here we are interested in the enols of carboxylic acids, which are known to be much less stable than their acid counterparts.

Abundance Ratios of OH/CO and HCO+/CO as Probes of the Cosmic-Ray Ionization Rate in Diffuse Clouds
The cosmic-ray ionization rate (CRIR, ζ _2 ) is one of the key parameters controlling the formation and destruction of various molecules in molecular clouds. However, the current most commonly used CRIR tracers, such as ${{\rm{H}}}_{3}^{+}$ , OH ^+ , and

The futuristic manifolds of REM sleep
Summary Since one of its first descriptions 70 years ago, rapid eye movement sleep has continually inspired and excited new generations of sleep researchers. Despite significant advancements in understanding its neurocircuitry, underlying mechanisms and microstates, many questions regarding its function, especially beyond the early neurodevelopment ...
