The discovery that molecules of methane and ethane can worm their way into the crystal lattice of frozen hydrogen cyanide has ...

NASA has discovered Saturn's moon Titan can mix molecules in ways previously thought impossible, shedding light on origins-of ...

Titan’s harsh chemistry breaks basic rules, offering new clues about how life’s building blocks might form in space.

A particular cornerstone of prebiotic chemistry is hydrogen cyanide, which, under the right conditions, forms compounds that ...

For decades, chemistry students have learned a simple truth: polar and nonpolar substances don’t mix. Water and oil stay ...

In a discovery that could rewrite chemistry textbooks, scientists have found that Saturn’s largest moon Titan allows ...

Scientists have found that on Titan, substances that should remain separate can actually combine under freezing conditions. NASA and Chalmers University researchers discovered that hydrogen cyanide ...

Recent research challenges a basic principle of chemistry—that polar and nonpolar substances cannot spontaneously mix—by demonstrating the formation of stable molecular structures on Saturn's moon, ...

Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, remains one of the most mysterious bodies in the solar system. Beneath its thick orange haze ...

Scientists from NASA and Chalmers University have discovered that incompatible substances can mix on Titan’s icy surface, breaking the “like dissolves like” rule of chemistry. Under ultra-cold ...

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and the US space agency NASA have made an unexpected discovery that challenges one of the basic rules of chemistry and provides new knowledge ...

Scientists found new evidence to strengthen the case that Enceladus, small moon of Saturn about 310 miles wide, may have conditions suitable for life.
