For those who would like to learn a little more about surface science techniques, check out the excellent tutorials available on the web.
If the cosmos excites you then click straight to cosmic interest.
There are many more groups probing the chemistry of interstellar space and some of their web pages are available here.
Finally, if you want to recreate some of the experiments you've read about within these pages you will need to contact some of our equipment suppliers and will find some of the recommended software packages useful.
