Scientists studying a rock sample collected by NASA’s Curiosity rover have uncovered something tantalizing: the largest organic molecules ever detected on Mars. The compounds — decane, undecane, and ...

In a new study, researchers say that nonbiological sources they considered could not fully account for the abundance of ...

A new Astrobiology study suggests non biological processes may not fully explain organic molecules found by NASA’s Curiosity rover on Mars. Could ancient life be a possible answer?

Deep inside a nearby galaxy cloaked in thick clouds of gas and dust, astronomers have uncovered a surprising treasure trove ...

NASA’s Curiosity rover has found the largest organic molecules ever detected on Mars. The discovery was made in ...

By exploring the properties, structures, and reactions of organic molecules, organic chemists can develop new materials, including drugs, fuels and plastics, and probe the underlying chemistry of life ...

A study led by the Center for Astrobiology (CAB), CSIC-INTA, using modeling techniques developed at the University of Oxford, ...

The Orion Nebula, a portion of which is pictured here, is home to a red dwarf star known as d203-506. Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to detect a carbon molecule known as methyl cation ...

In 2013, the Curiosity rover drilled this hole, which measures about 0.6 inches wide and 2.6 inches deep, into martian rock. The sample is now thought to contain long-chain organic molecules. NASA / ...
