Quantum tunneling allows for organic chemistry reactions in deepspace
Quantum tunneling allows for organic chemistry reactions in deep space
http://blogs.physicstoday.org/newspi...in-deep-space/ Dwayne Heard of the University of Leeds, UK, and his colleagues wondered if quantum tunneling would allow the hydroxyl molecules to overcome that energy barrier by instead digging through it. When they re-created in the lab a 63-K interstellar molecular gas cloud, they found that methoxy did indeed form. Even more significantly, it formed at a rate 50 times faster than the normal room-temperature reaction. |
