EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Ice Coverage of Dust Grains in Cold Astrophysical Environments

Alexey Potapov, Cornelia Jäger, and Thomas Henning

Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 221103 (2020) - Published 5 June, 2020

Dust particles in space may be surprisingly porous, so their surfaces could carry thinner ice coatings and support different chemical reactions than previously supposed.
