Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE), in collaboration with astrophysicists from the ...
"Our results show that a 13-atom molecule structurally similar to those in comets already exists in a young, starless ...
Life on Earth began in a world of volcanic eruptions, violent storms, and a toxic atmosphere. Yet somehow, from this chaos, the first living organisms emerged. Scientists at the University of Arizona ...
The processes that haul gold up to the surface from deep within Earth's mantle rely on the sulfur that bubbles beneath active volcanoes. Two new papers have agreed that some forms of sulfur form ...
Although the basic concept of electrostatic attraction has been known since ancient times, it was only in the 17th century that scientists began to systematically investigate electrostatics. One of ...
How did early life get the sulfur-containing molecules it desperately needed? Scientists have long assumed that biology itself invented these essential compounds. Laboratory experiments now suggest a ...
A research team led by Prof. SHEN Yan'an from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has made significant progress in studying the sources and formation mechanisms of haze. Through ...
