The molecules, while not a direct sign of life, still signal the existence of complex chemistry on the Red Planet.

A key objective of ongoing research rooted in molecular physics is to understand and precisely control chemical reactions at ...

1. Convert kilograms/second to grams per second. 1 kg = 1000 grams. If the mass flowrate is 0.25 kilograms/second, convert this to 250 grams/second. 2. Convert grams to moles, using the molar mass of ...

Curiosity found large organic molecules in a 2013 Mars rock sample. These fragments suggest Mars had the right chemistry for ...

Researchers discover a way to potentially reduce CO2 emissions and decrease the need for chlorine to produce ethylene oxide — ...

NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has detected the largest organic (carbon-containing) molecules ever found on the red planet. The ...

While the presence of these molecules is not proof of ancient life on Mars, scientists say it shows we could detect chemical ...

A team of scientists just discovered the longest organic molecules yet seen on Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun and and a ...

NASA's Curiosity Rover has discovered long carbon chains on Mars. On Earth, molecules like these are overwhelmingly produced ...

The organic molecules found by Curiosity consist of carbon atoms linked in long chains, with other elements bonded to them, like hydrogen and oxygen. They come from a 3.7-billion-year-old rock ...

The Curiosity rover detected the largest organic molecules to date on Mars, which may be fragments of fatty acids, or some of ...
