When Two Worlds Collide: How Collisions Between Silicate and Carbonaceous Nanograins can Drive Complex Chemistry

Our overall objective is to determine how collision velocity governs the interactions between silicate and carbonaceous nanograins.

Our overall objective is to determine how collision velocity governs the interactions between silicate and carbonaceous nanograins. We aim to: i) identify collisional regimes capable of producing mixed silicate-carbonaceous grains and/or chemically complex molecular species, and…
