Electronic spectroscopy of open-chain and aromatic hydrocarbon cations in neon matrices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Considerable scientific interest has been devoted to the so-called diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs)—hundreds of absorption features of different strength and width, located in the visible and near infrared, and arising from the interstellar medium ...

Chemical Kinetics of 2‐, 4‐, and 2,4‐Seleno‐Uracils at Low Temperatures: Tautomerizations and Rotamerizations on Inert Matrices

open access: yesInternational Journal of Chemical Kinetics, Volume 58, Issue 10, Page 881-889, October 2026.
ABSTRACT In the interstellar medium, chemical reactions proceed under conditions vastly different to those on Earth; these include extremely low temperatures and densities and take place in the gas phase and on water–ice grains. Understanding the energetics and more importantly the kinetics of such reactions is of relevance to the consequences on how ...

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Interstellar Molecules - The Optical Region [PDF]

open access: yesHighlights of Astronomy, 1971
Considerable attention has recently been given to the observation of interstellar molecules by radio methods. Interstellar molecules have also been given a boost because of excitation by the 3K black body radiation field (to use a convenient description).

Molecular filming: A director's grammar for visualizing chemistry in motion

open access: yesBulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, Volume 47, Issue 9, Page 1042-1057, September 2026.
Molecular filming names the practice, not just the product, of ultrafast structural science. In deliberate analogy to molecular editing, which rewrites connectivity in space, molecular filming records geometry in time, assembling time‐ordered structural frames into a movie of atomic motion and recasting the field as a grammar of directorial choices ...

H2 Ortho–Para Spin Conversion on Inhomogeneous Grain Surfaces. II. Impact of the Rotational Energy Difference between Adsorbed Ortho-H2 and Para-H2 and Implication for Deuterium Fractionation Chemistry

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We investigate how the H _2 ortho-to-para ratio (OPR) and deuterium fractionation in star-forming regions are affected by nuclear spin conversion (NSC) on dust grains. Particular focus is placed on the rotational energy difference between ortho-H _2 (o-H

Thin‐film lithium niobate photonics: Frontiers in millimeter‐wave and terahertz generation and integrated applications

open access: yesInfoScience, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2026.
With the advancement of 6G communications, high‐precision radar, and advanced imaging technologies, there is a growing demand for compact, high‐performance light sources capable of generating high‐frequency radio waves (millimeter‐wave and terahertz waves). This article systematically introduces how to efficiently generate these high‐frequency waves on

Over the possible role of metal atom clusters in cosmochemistry and in the origin of life

open access: yesRevista de Química, 1992
We present here the hypothesis of a possible relationship between metal atom clusters and the formation of organic molecules in the interstellar medium and on small bodies as a possible pathway to the origin of such molecules.

The Great Cosmic Silence: What Does the Fermi Paradox Tell About the Future of Humanity?

open access: yesGlobal Policy, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 553-565, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines how institutional time horizons shape the long‐term survival prospects of human technological civilisation. While research on global catastrophic and existential risks has expanded, the temporal structures of political‐economic institutions remain underexamined.

Electronic spectroscopy of cold ions in a radio-frequency trap [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The low density of ions in mass spectrometers generally precludes direct absorption measurements. The spectrum of ions can nonetheless be obtained by using resonance two-color photofragmentation or multiphoton photofragmentation techniques.
