Our understanding of complex organic chemistry during the formation of stars and planets is shaped by a handful of cherry-picked sources with bright molecular emission lines. This observational bias impedes our assessment of how universal chemical complexity is during star formation. The lack of systematic wideband spe...

The interstellar medium (ISM) is magnetized at all scales and phases in our Galaxy and other galaxies across the Universe. Spectro-polarimetric millimetre observations are essential to probe the role of the interstellar magnetic fields in the dynamics of the cold universe, and how this affects the star formation proces...

The formation mechanisms of brown dwarfs (BDs) and free-floating planets (FFPs) are poorly constrained. The two main competing scenarios include the star-like scenario, where these objects correspond to the least massive gravitationally unstable fragments of molecular clouds, and the planet-like scenario, where these o...

A fundamental question in astrophysics is whether the processes governing star formation are universal or depend on the physical conditions of their local galactic environment. The Milky Way and the Magellanic clouds offer ideal laboratories to explore this question, as the gas conditions in them span up to orders of m...

Star formation is both a multi-scale and highly dynamic process. It is regulated by the combination of gravity, turbulence, feedback and magnetic fields, which connect more than six orders of magnitude in scale: from large molecular clouds (several 10s to 100s pc in size) down to protoplanetary disks (a few 10s to 100s...
