Cassini detected fresh organic compounds in ice plumes from Enceladus’s subsurface ocean, strengthening the moon’s potential ...

LifeTracer, a computational framework, was developed to analyze mass spectrometry data, identifying molecular features that distinguish abiotic from biotic origins. Georgia Tech and NASA used advanced ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka created a reagent for important building-block molecules with an abundant main-group element, gallium. These early findings show that an organic gallium ...

Scientists have discovered that the mineral jarosite breaks down organic compounds when it is flash-heated, with implications for Mars research. Jarosite is an iron sulphate and it is one of several ...

VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, are compounds that contain carbon atoms and that, at room temperature, easily evaporate. Too small to see and virtually omnipresent both indoors and out, they can ...

Elemental analysis offers scientists a method of determining the elements present in an organic compound, and in what quantity. Various fields of science rely on this type of analysis for research, ...

Jonas Goldsmith, an associate professor and chair of chemistry, has known Malachowski for two decades. “What we aspire to at ...

Chemists have developed a method to convert chemicals known as alpha-olefins into new organic compounds. Combining a pair of catalytic reactions in sequence converted inexpensive chemicals into new ...

Shampoo, body lotion, dishwashing soap, caulking compounds, room deodorizers, household cleaners, paint removers, flooring, carpet and pressed-wood products are just a few of the thousands of consumer ...
