A Chinese research team has reported the discovery of abiotic organic compounds in the oceanic crust of the Southwest Indian Ridge and proposed a molecular mechanism for organic condensation.

Researchers screened a wide variety of simple organic compounds to see if they could form polymers under early Earth conditions, and found many polymerised more easily than biological compounds ...

During the early Martian era, with surface temperatures close to the freezing point of water and not exceeding 300 K (27°C), these compounds may have dissolved in water and settled in sediments.

These created simple organic compounds that went on to help form ever larger and more complex organic molecules. However, scientists now find the hazes on Pluto and Triton might have significantly ...

In the new study, Lavvas and his colleagues suggest that as on Titan, sunlight triggers chemical reactions in Pluto's upper atmosphere, forming simple compounds such as hydrogen cyanide, a ...

Curiosity rover finds signs of simple organic compounds in a Martian soil sample -- but scientists say the finding won't be conclusive until tests confirm earthly contaminants aren't present.
