Royal Society of Chemistry - Faraday Discussion 168 Volume 168

Explore the fundamental chemical processes of the cosmos with Astrochemistry of Dust, Ice and Gas. This volume of the Faraday Discussions series provides a deep look into the cyclic role of dust in the chemical evolution of the Universe. Readers will follow the journey of cosmic matter starting from its synthesis in aged and dying stars. The text covers the vital role of gas-grain interaction within increasingly dense environments of the interstellar medium. It also examines grain-grain collisions and the initial steps required for the construction of new stars and planetary systems. Published by the Royal Society of Chemistry, this scientific volume is an essential resource for those studying astronomy and space science. It offers a structured look at how microscopic components drive the large-scale evolution of space.
