In a discovery that could rewrite chemistry textbooks, scientists have found that Saturn’s largest moon Titan allows molecules that usually repel each other to combine under extreme cold, defying one ...

Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has astonished scientists by breaking one of chemistry's oldest principles. A new study by researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Swed ...

At the same time, significant reserves of organic material, combined with the subglacial ocean of water, seas of methane and ...

As jewellery market expands, brands are under pressure to modernise logistics and fulfilment models, so that they can scale ...

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.

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 ...

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