The paper The Role of Non‑Covalent Interactions on Cluster Formation: Pentamer, Hexamers and Heptamer of Difluoromethane has been accepted in Angewandte Chemie Journal and considered as “hot paper”. Congratulations!

“Campusa”, the Journal of the University of the Basque Country, has published a press release about the paper “Laboratory Observation of, Astrochemical Search for, and Structure of Elusive Erythrulose in the Interstellar Medium”. Click here to read the publication.      

Our paper “Laboratory Observation of, Astrochemical Search for, and Structure of Elusive Erythrulose in the Interstellar Medium” has been  highlighted as cover in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters.  

Rotational spectroscopy provides the most powerful means of identifying molecules of biological interest in the interstellar medium (ISM), but despite their importance, the detection of carbohydrates has remained rather elusive. Here, we present a comprehensive Fourier transform rotational spectroscopic study of elusive erythrulose, a sugar building block likely to be …
