from a novel point of view looking at physics and chemistry simultaneously.
«In the earliest phase of star formation, there are theoretical difficulties in producing such a disk, because magnetic fields can slow down the rotation of collapsing material, preventing such a disk
from forming around a very
young protostar.
When the astronomers compared their new VLA measurements of the motion of SiO molecules close to the
