In research that has all the makings of a blockbuster movie — with interstellar chemistry, million-year timescales, and high-powered lasers — Princeton chemists are expanding our understanding of the ...

The universe is 13.8 billion years old—and like many things that have been around for a while, it’s collected lots of dust. And just one of these dust particles could seed an entire planet. After a ...

(Phys.org)—Combining the cutting-edge capabilities of the ALMA telescope with newly-developed laboratory techniques, scientists are opening a completely new era for deciphering the chemistry of the ...

Although technically challenging, space experiments are a scientifically important aspect of astrobiology and astrochemistry investigations. The international space station (ISS) offers an excellent ...

In the driest high desert in the world, where flamingos flock to mountain lakes and llamas and wild burros roam the rust-colored hills, scientists have built the world’s largest radio telescope. Its ...

Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) represent one of the longest-standing enigmas in astronomical spectroscopy. These broad absorption features, observed in the optical and near-infrared spectra of ...

Ultimately, the goal of the workshop is to explore how the methods and discoveries of astrochemistry might provide insights or opportunities for advancing the chemical sciences and engineering. Come ...

New technology for both laboratory and telescope improves and speeds the process of identifying the "fingerprints" of chemicals in the cosmos, enabling previously-impracticable research. Combining the ...
