Jennifer Meyer joined the department of chemistry at RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau (@rptu_transfer) as a Junior Professor in physical chemistry in Fall 2020. In her presentation, she will give a short glimpse into scattering experiments to investigate the dynamics of chemical reactions - by transferring them into the gas phase! https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/nadc.20234136457 #chemiverse #chemistry #PhysicalChemistry #GasPhase

`For the team of researchers, these results are pretty clear. “Hence, we suggest that GCRs (Galactic Cosmic Rays) and SEP (Solar Energetic Particle) events from the young Sun represent the most effective energy sources for the prebiotic formation of biologically important organic compounds from weakly reducing atmospheres.”`

Solar Flares Could Have Helped Life Get Started on Earth

A new study shows how solar flares are another 'Goldilocks' situation. Too much is not good for life, but a little could be beneficial.
