Organic Molecules Survive Space via Cooling Mechanism
ORGANIC MOLECULES SURVIVE IN SPACE THANKS TO COOLING MECHANISM Why in the News? Astronomical breakthrough: A new study explains how polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) survive in harsh interstellar environments like Taurus Molecular Cloud 1 (TMC1). Unexpected survival: Despite exposure to stellar radiation, closed-shell PAHs persist in higher amounts than predicted. Key finding: Indenyl cation (C₉H₇⁺), …
