Ice analogs mimicking interstellar ice behave like liquids at temperatures between -210°C and -120°C according to Hokkaido University researchers. This liquid-like ice may enhance the formation of organic compounds including prebiotic molecules and the accretion of dust to form planets.
This research results appear in Science Advances in its September 29, 2017 issue (Tachibana S., et al., Science Advances, September 29, 2017)
