LifeTracer is not a universal life detector. Rather, it provides a foundation for interpreting complex organic mixtures. The Bennu findings remind us that life-friendly chemistry may be widespread ...
If you want to build a habitable planet, ice is a key ingredient. The ice can be found in enormous clouds in the Universe and it is the main carrier of the necessary elements such as carbon, hydrogen, ...
Scientists have just broken a 100-year-old chemistry rule and synthesized a type of 3D, unstable molecule called an anti-Bredt olefin. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
Scientists have designed a new type of gas sensor that can tell apart "mirror image" versions of the same smell molecule, ...
A team of researchers studied the properties of membranes to understand how these cellular structures influenced the chemistry of life on Earth as it began. How life arose remains a looming question ...
So much for the idea of aging gracefully – or gradually. New research suggests the body ages in bursts, in particular, rapid changes about age 44 and another when we hit 60. We consider aging as a ...
