Laboratory Test Shows Ion-Molecule Collision Theory Fails to Produce Benzene in Space Conditions

A recent laboratory experiment conducted by researchers at JILA and NIST has disproved a long-held theory about how benzene forms in interstellar space. The study tested ion-molecule collisions at near-zero temperatures and extremely low pressure but failed to produce benzene. This challenges earlier theories linking benzene to the formation of carbon compounds essent…
