Uncovering the chemistry of interstellar space
Many people imagine the space between the stars as an empty, cold infinity. In reality, it is teeming with extraordinary molecules: More than 300 different types have already been discovered. For her Ph.D. thesis, chemist Kim Steenbakkers studied a number of molecules here on Earth and contributed to proving the existence of at least one of them in space. She will defend her research at Radboud University on 3 June.
