Research Seminar: Space Onions and the Chemically-controlled Cosmos!

Presented By Prof. Martin McCoustra (Heriot-Watt University)

About this event


Chemistry plays a significant role in controlling the evolution of the modern Universe. It seeds the Universe with molecules that allow us to understand remote regions of space, control the size of stars and open doorways to biology. This presentation will give a general overview of unique chemistry that occurs in space at exceedingly low pressures and temperatures.
