INTRODUCTION Comets and asteroids preserve information on the earliest stages of Solar
System formation and on the composition of its building blocks. The nature of their solid …

Reactions in interstellar ices are shown to be capable of producing key prebiotic molecules
without energetic radiation that are necessary for the origins of life. When present in …

Evolved interstellar ices observed in dense protostellar molecular clouds may arguably be
considered as part of precometary materials that will later fall on primitive telluric planets …

Complex organic molecules are widely observed in star-forming regions, although their
formation mechanisms are not well understood. Solid-state chemistry is thought to play an …

Studying the chemical composition of organic matter in astrophysical environments is an
important means to improve our understanding of its origin and evolution. This organic …

Carbonaceous chondrites (CC) contain a diversity of organic compounds. No definitive
evidence for a genetic relationship between these complex organic molecules and the …

In this work, CMC-AFT biopolymer electrolytes system was developed using Carboxymethyl
cellulose (CMC) doped with varied amount (10–50 wt.%) of ammonium formate (AFT) in …

In this investigation, ZnO nanostructures were coated via hydrothermal process on glass
substrate surfaces, which were treated by acidic and alkaline solutions. Furthermore, the …

The origin of the diverse organic compounds present in carbonaceous chondrites (CC)
remains uncertain. We aim at investigating the role that hydrothermal alteration may have …

Context. It is generally agreed that hydrogenation reactions dominate chemistry on grain
surfaces in cold, dense molecular cores, saturating the molecules present in ice mantles …
