Surprising discoveries about the carbon richness of asteroid Ryugu and the composition of matter in the early solar system

Japanese researchers who examined the soft materials that returned to Earth from the asteroid Ryugo in the Yabusa 2 spacecraft now estimate that the protoplanetary bodies from which the planets and asteroids were formed were richer in carbon than previously thought.

Researchers synthesized a stable C16 carbon ring, although theoretically it should have broken down immediately

Before the successful synthesis, it was not clear if it was even possible to create such a molecule and keep it stable long enough to study its structure and its electronic properties.
