Climate change makes nitrous oxide disappear faster, creating new uncertainty for future climate and ozone predictions.

NASA’s Curiosity rover has found the largest organic molecules ever detected on Mars. The discovery was made in ...

Of the 6,000 exoplanets known, a very thin slice of them are in the geometry required to perform a deceitfully simple experiment: observe a planet cross its star and read the atmospheric chemistry ...

Dust from asteroid Bennu is revealing a surprising origin story for life’s building blocks. New research suggests some amino acids formed in frozen ice exposed to radiation, not warm liquid water as ...

A study led by the Center for Astrobiology (CAB), CSIC-INTA, using modeling techniques developed at the University of Oxford, ...

Apart from a few exceptional cases, chemistry is often perceived as difficult, abstract and removed from real life. This ...

By exploring the properties, structures, and reactions of organic molecules, organic chemists can develop new materials, including drugs, fuels and plastics, and probe the underlying chemistry of life ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Imagine that a new lifesaving medication is invented, but its unusual structure makes it difficult to manufacture. The drug might turn out to be prohibitively expensive or ...

In a scanning tunneling microscope image, hundreds of glowing dots organize themselves in hexagons and wavy diagonal lines. The diagonal lines have somewhat regular spacing between each other. Credit: ...

Thermite, a mixture of metallic aluminum and iron oxide (rust), won’t do anything at room temperature. Even a burning match or a cannon fuse does squat. But once you get even a small section up to ...
