The Role of Benzonitrile Chlorination Explored by Dissociative Electron Attachment
Experimental and theoretical dissociative electron attachment study of 2‐ and 4‐chlorobenzonitrile. The dissociative electron attachment process to ortho‐ and para‐chlorobenzonitrile was investigated in the 0–12 eV energy range with a crossed‐beam time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer, supported by quantum chemical scattering calculations.

Small‐scale elemental abundance variations in Ryugu particles from touchdown 1
Abstract Ryugu materials closely resemble CI chondrites' mineralogical, chemical, and isotopic compositions; yet minor but resolvable differences in certain elemental abundances are evident. In this study, the bulk chemical compositions of eight individual Ryugu particles (1.5–4.3 mg) from the first touchdown site (TD1) were determined using triple ...

Satellites and Small Bodies With ALMA: Insights Into Solar System Formation and Evolution
Abstract Our understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary systems has made major advances in the past decade. This progress has been driven in large part by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), which has given us an unprecedented view of solar system bodies themselves, and of the structure and chemistry of forming ...

Star Formation near Photodissociation Regions: Detection of a Peculiar Protostar near Cederblad 201 [PDF]
We present the detection and characterization of a peculiar low-mass protostar (IRAS 22129+7000) located ~0.4 pc from Ced 201 Photodissociation Region (PDR) and ~0.2 pc from the HH450 jet. The cold circumstellar envelope surrounding the object has been mapped through its 1.2 mm dust continuum emission with IRAM-30m/MAMBO.

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 ...

Physicochemical Constraints on the Abiotic Polymerization of Nucleotides Into RNA
Abstract One of the key steps in the origin of life is the polymerization of nucleotides into nucleic acids like RNA. We have quantified the energetic impact of temperature, pressure, and composition on the polymerization of nucleotides into RNA using the Gibbs function. These Gibbs energies have been used to calculate the probability that a nucleotide

Rotational Spectroscopy of the Acetone‐Water Complex: Large Amplitude Motions
The structure and dynamics of the acetone‐water complex were explored using jet‐cooled rotational spectroscopy and computational chemistry calculations. Our detailed rot‐tunneling analyses of acetone‐H2O and −D2O revealed that the interaction with water disrupts the equivalence of the two methyl rotors, resulting in a significantly lower methyl rotor ...

Formation of Methanol via Fischer‐Tropsch Catalysis by Cosmic Iron Sulphide
Periodic quantum mechanical simulations evidence the potentiality to synthesise methanol through a Fischer‐Tropsch mechanism in different astrophysical environments facilitated by the catalytic properties of cosmic FeS grains, which are enhanced by the presence of naturally‐occurring point surface defects.

The SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Star Formation Survey. II. High Luminosity Protostars [PDF]
Abstract We present multiwavelength images observed with SOFIA-FORCAST from ∼10 to 40 μm of seven high luminosity massive protostars, as part of the SOFIA Massive Star Formation Survey. Source morphologies at these wavelengths appear to be influenced by outflow cavities and extinction from dense gas surrounding the protostars.

Sulforaphane and ophthalmic diseases
Sulforaphane (SFN) is an organosulfur compound categorized as an isothiocyanate (ITC), primarily extracted from cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cabbage. This review comprehensively outlines recent research on SFN, elucidates its mechanisms of action, and discusses potential therapeutic benefits for eye disorders such as age‐related macular ...
