The longest organic molecules identified to date on Mars have recently been detected. These long carbon chains, containing up to 12 consecutive carbon atoms, could exhibit features similar to the ...
The NASA rover "Curiosity" discovered what scientists say is the largest ever seen organic molecules on Mars, raising ...
Long-wave infrared birefringent crystals are essential materials in infrared optical applications in fields such as infrared ...
The arrangement of small molecules—known as ligands—around transition metal atoms affects how the metal atoms behave. This is important because transition metals are used as catalysts in the synthesis ...
While the presence of these molecules is not proof of ancient life on Mars, scientists say it shows we could detect chemical ...
The Mars Curiosity rover’s onboard mini-lab has helped confirm the existence of the largest organic molecules ever found on ...
The discovery of long-chain organic compounds in a 3.7-billion-year-old rock raises new questions about the Red Planet’s past ...
