1940 R. Wildt in Scientia LXVII. 87 On observing how the material aspect of cosmic phenomena has come into the focus of interest, the question may be raised whether it would not be a timely expansion of the notion of geochemistry to adopt the term cosmochemistry to designate the science which shall deal with matter under all cosmic conditions.
1960 McGraw-Hill Encycl. Sci. & Technol. III. 503/1 The data of cosmochemistry provide important boundary conditions for both cosmological theories and theories pertaining to the composition and evolution of the planet Earth.
1969 Sci. Jrnl. Apr. 33/1 His current research interests are in molecular physics, cosmochemistry and biophysics.
