Brookhaven Lab scientist Percy Zahl of the Center for Functional Nanomaterials, a DOE Office of Science user facility, used high-resolution noncontact atomic force microscopy to image the structures of individual molecules from one of the meteorites. This provided a more detailed look at these extraterrestrial organic compounds. For more information about Brookhaven’s role in this research, contact Peter Genzer (genzer@bnl.gov, 631-344-3174).
Researchers at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and Brookhaven National Laboratory have teamed up to get a fresh look at the complex makeup of meteorites and glimpse into our solar system’s past.
Powerful spectrometry found only at the MagLab identified the vast array of organic compounds inside two meteorites, and Brookhaven scien...
