A new study by University of Maryland chemical physicists demonstrates how to control the nuclear spin of molecular hydrogen ...

Understanding the gas from which stars form is a fundamental goal in astrophysics. This is a pressing issue for pristine galaxies — those low in heavy elements, known as metals — whose growth remains ...

The cloud, named Eos, is chock-full of molecular hydrogen and possibly rife with star-forming potential in the future. By Katrina Miller Stars and planets are born inside swirling clouds of cosmic gas ...

University of Maryland researchers have discovered a simple way to control the nuclear spin of molecular hydrogen by freezing it in dry ice. The technique could advance hydrogen fuel storage, quantum ...

Astrophysicists have discovered a potentially star-forming cloud that is one of the largest single structures in the sky and among the closest to the sun and Earth ever to be detected. The scientists ...

The birthplace of stars begins within large, cold clouds of gas and dust, which eventually collapse under the weight of gravity. Molecular clouds are vast cosmic entities that often stretch for ...

Korean researchers have, for the first time, mapped molecular-level phase transitions in the electric double layer, revealing why battery capacitance curves shift with electrolyte concentration. The ...
