Some substances that don't mix on Earth can combine in ultra freezing conditions like those on Saturn's largest moon, ...

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

Recent research challenges a basic principle of chemistry—that polar and nonpolar substances cannot spontaneously mix—by ...

The work was focusing on answering a specific question about Titan. In the cold atmosphere of the moon, rich in methane and ethane, crystals of hydrogen cyanide (which is polar) form, falling to the ...

A discovery about Saturn's moon Titan has challenged what scientists thought was a basic rule of chemistry. There, in the ...

A new atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique, which would allow users to precisely detect and map the charge distribution within molecules, has been developed by researchers in Europe. The team has ...

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and the US space agency NASA have made an unexpected discovery ...
