Chemistry that shaped the cosmos revealed in helium hydride reaction study



Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jul 30, 2025
Immediately following the Big Bang some 13.8 billion years ago, the universe was a searing cauldron of energy and particles. Within seconds, temperatures dropped enough for the first elements - mostly hydrogen and helium - to form, though they remained fully ionized. It wasn't until about 380,000 years later that conditions allowed for recombination, giving rise to neutral atoms and initiating the first chemical reactions. The earliest known molecule, the helium hydride ion (HeH+), formed when a n ... read more
