  East Lansing MI (SPX) Feb 18, 2025 From helping catalyze interstellar reactions and fueling the birth of stars to its presence in neighborhood gas giants like Saturn and Jupiter, trihydrogen, or H3+, is best known as the "the molecule that made the universe." While we have a clear picture of how the majority of H3+ is formed - a hydrogen molecule, or H2, colliding with its ionized counterpart, H2+ - scientists are keen to understand alternative sources of H3+ and to better measure its abundance throughout the cosmos. Now, in ... read more |
