The chemistry of outer space
This episode’s chemistry is literally out of this world. Brett McGuire is an astrochemist that uses a mixture of laboratory work, modelling, and microwave and radio telescopes to gather rotational spectra data to study the chemistry of outer space. This fascinating conversation touches on the origins of life, the uniqueness of chemistry in space, the various approaches astochemists take in their work and how astrochemistry has driven the field of nanochemistry here on Earth. This is a must hear, far out, episode!
