Astrophysicists at the University of Colorado's JILA, National Institute of Science and Technology , conducted an experiment to produce benzene the way theories have predicted it is produced in interstellar space.

The experiment involved monitoring molecular-level reactions at a pressure just a trillionth that of sea level.

When they added H2, the expected reaction did not occur, meaning no benzene was produced.
