Look, I’m not a nutritionist or anything, but after years of trying every diet under the sun, I stumbled onto […] The post ...

Astronomers have detected a variety of complex organic molecules (COMs) in the protoplanetary disk surrounding a young star, ...

Co-author Dr. Tushar Suhasaria, head of MPIA’s Origins of Life Lab, said: “We recently found ethylene glycol could form by UV irradiation of ethanolamine, a molecule that was recently discovered in ...

Rare earth elements sustain the Information Age, and securing a supply of these metals has become a matter of national and ...

A story of bacteria, arthropods, and two very smelly organic compounds.

This Perspective discusses the potential role of nitrogen–oxygen bond-containing compounds (from simple nitrogen oxides to complicated organic N–O bearing molecules) in the prebiotic synthesis of ...

This has been achieved by combining electrochemical and biotechnological technologies for the production of simple organic compounds (methanol and formic acid) that serve as building blocks for the ...

Previous missions had found simple organic compounds—small molecules made up of just a few atoms—but the discovery of larger carbon chains indicates the chemistry on Mars may have reached ...

The study also raises hopes that large organic molecules, including potential biosignatures—compounds that can only be formed by living organisms—could have been preserved on Mars despite the ...
