Planets form and obtain their compositions in disks of gas and dust around young stars. The
chemical compositions of these planet-forming disks regulate all aspects of planetary …

A quarter of a century ago, philosopher Judith called upon society to create “gender trouble”
by disrupting the binary view of sex, gender, and sexuality. She argued that gender, rather …

Prebiotic phosphorylation of (pre) biological substrates under aqueous conditions is a
critical step in the origins of life. Previous investigations have had limited success and/or …

Context. The increase in bandwidth and sensitivity of state-of-the-art radio observatories is
providing a wealth of molecular data from nearby star-forming regions up to high-z galaxies …

We report the first detection of the phosphorus monoxide ion (PO+) in the interstellar
medium. Our unbiased and very sensitive spectral survey toward the G+ 0.693–0.027 …

We report the first detection in the interstellar medium (ISM) of the Z-isomer of
cyanomethanimine (HNCHCN), an HCN dimer proposed as precursor of adenine. We …

To understand how phosphorus (P)-bearing molecules are formed in star-forming regions,
we have analysed the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations …

The detection of complex organic molecules (COMs) toward cold sources such as pre-stellar
cores (with T< 10 K) has challenged our understanding of the formation processes of COMs …

We present an unbiased spectral line survey towards the Galactic Centre (GC) quiescent
giant molecular cloud, G+ 0.693 using the GBT and IRAM 30 telescopes. Our study …

Context. The detection of complex organic molecules related with prebiotic chemistry in star-
forming regions allows us to investigate how the basic building blocks of life are formed …
