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.

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 ...

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 ...
