A study led by the Center for Astrobiology (CAB), CSIC-INTA, using modeling techniques developed at the University of Oxford, has uncovered an unprecedented richness of small organic molecules in the ...

Electrochemical oxidation of small organic molecules encompasses a suite of reactions in which alcohols, aldehydes and acids are converted into value‐added chemicals or fully oxidised products via ...

Conventional lithium-ion batteries based on inorganic cathode materials containing transition metals (e.g., Co and Ni) are facing the celling of energy density and the concern of resource ...

Curiosity found organic molecules on Mars that were so compelling that scientists used a rare process to analyze them.

Researchers have developed a light-driven method for creating tiny, high-energy “housane” molecules that are valuable for ...

Small molecules make up almost half of the 20 most valuable orphan drugs in development across biopharma, according to an Evaluate analysis. A total of 45% of the top 20 orphan drugs in biopharma ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Ten years ago, the European Space Agency’s Rosetta probe pulled up alongside a dusty, icy lump the size of a mountain. The probe would ...
