Titan’s harsh chemistry breaks basic rules, offering new clues about how life’s building blocks might form in space.

IN 1896 Prof. E. C. Pickering discovered a series of lines in the spectrum of the star ζ Puppis which has been attributed to hydrogen in consequence of numerical relationship to the Balmer series ...

The rules of chemistry on Saturn's largest moon, Titan, may have to be rewritten thanks to a new discovery that shows how ...

Antimatter is matter that we don’t encounter very much in everyday life. This form of matter is different to the stuff we see around us. In simple terms, antimatter is matter that carries an opposite ...

WHILE making experiments on the apparent production of neon and helium during electric discharges, I have noticed an effect which may be of interest to spectroscopists. A powerful oscillatory ...

Taken from the March 2022 issue of Physics World, where it appeared under the headline "The woman who found hydrogen in the stars". Sidney Perkowitz delves into the work and life of Cecilia ...

Scientists from NASA and Chalmers University have discovered that incompatible substances can mix on Titan’s icy surface, ...

Hydrogen is a promising fuel for developing sustainable industrial processes, but its use is hindered by hydrogen embrittlement—a phenomenon that weakens metals and can cause sudden failure. Now, ...

A University of Delaware-led research team reports an advance in the June 1 issue of Science that may help astrophysicists more accurately analyze the vast molecular clouds of gas and dust where stars ...
