- First laboratory evidence for prestellar formation of amino acids and other prebiotic molecules in space through surface reactions on ice grains under cold dark cloud conditions. The work aroused worldwide interest as shown by its metrics: 957 article accesses, 74 tweeters, 52 news outlets, 16 blogs, 13 Mendeley, and 1 Facebook page. The work led to invited talks at international conferences/workshops/schools (https://phys.au.dk/intercat/news-and-events/show/artikel/intercat-au-ul-joint-group-meeting-2/, https://www.cospar-assembly.org/admin/session_cospar.php?session=929, http://kromepackage.org/bootcamp/). The work was key in securing new international collaborations (https://phys.au.dk/intercat/about-intercat/collaborators/sergio-ioppolo/, https://research.kent.ac.uk/astrophysics-and-planetary-science/person/3377/). It motivated the development of the research programmes included the application UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships (Ioppolo): Round 6 (MR/W011573/1) and STFC Astrophysics Consortium (ST/W001055/1).
