Identification of Solid N2O in Interstellar Ices Using Open JWST Data
Overview: The Quest for Solid N2O in Space Nitrous oxide (N2O) is one of the six known molecules containing an N–O bond observed in the gas phase of the interstellar medium. The search for N2O in solid form—embedded in interstellar ices—has a long history, dating back to early infrared missions like the Infrared Space Observatory.…

Solid N2O in Interstellar Ices Detected with JWST Data
Overview Interstellar ices are chemical laboratories frozen onto dust grains in cold regions of the cosmos. Among the handful of molecules known to contain a nitrogen-oxygen (N–O) bond in the gaseous phase, nitrous oxide (N2O) has been a target of search for decades. Although early missions like the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) laid the groundwork,…

Identification Of Solid N2O In Interstellar Ices Using Open JWST Data
Introduction: Why N2O Matters in Interstellar Ices Nitrous oxide, or N2O, is one of the few molecules that contain an N–O bond detected in the gaseous phase of the interstellar medium. However, solid-phase detections of N2O in icy mantles on dust grains have remained elusive since observations began with the Infrared Space Observatory and subsequent…

New Victorian Pain Standard Introduces Green Whistle Analgesia for Contraception Procedures and Announces Endometriosis Clinic
Victoria launches a comprehensive women’s pain standard The Victorian government has unveiled a new women’s pain standard aimed at improving how pain is managed during procedures and in everyday care. Central to the standard is a commitment to minimize unnecessary suffering, with a focus on evidence-based pain relief, patient consent, and clear reporting of outcomes.…
