Paleontologists have long assumed that fossilization destroys all organic molecules in ancient remains. However, a groundbreaking study by researchers at the University of Liverpool has found ...

Organic compounds are all around us. Many modern materials are at least partially composed of organic compounds. They’re central to economic growth, and are foundational to the fields of biochemistry, ...

The findings reported in this paper present the best chance we have seen for identifying the remains of life on Mars,” said ...

Catenanes are organic compounds with ring-like molecules that are mechanically interlocked. The mechanical locking system in such molecules is so robust that they can only be disentangled via ...

The power conversion efficiency of all-organic solar cells was doubled through the development of novel organic electrodes ...

Signals of organic molecules were detected at all 10 places that SHERLOC – short for Scanning Habitable Environments with Raman and Luminescence for Organics and Chemicals – studied on the ...

Researchers involved with the new study were able to form complex carboxylic acids by simulating the conditions of interstellar space — these organic compounds ... energy in nearly all living ...
