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

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

Impossible molecular combinations are possible on Saturn’s moon Titan, changing our understanding the potentially ...

Some substances that don't mix on Earth can combine in ultra freezing conditions like those on Saturn's largest moon, ...

A discovery about Saturn's moon Titan has challenged what scientists thought was a basic rule of chemistry. There, in the ...

Hydrogen cyanide is what's described as a polar molecule, in the sense that it has one side with a positive electric charge ...

The work was focusing on answering a specific question about Titan. In the cold atmosphere of the moon, rich in methane and ethane, crystals of hydrogen cyanide (which is polar) form, falling to the ...

Scientists have found that on Titan, substances that should remain separate can actually combine under freezing conditions. NASA and Chalmers University researchers discovered that hydrogen cyanide ...

For decades, chemistry students have learned a simple truth: polar and nonpolar substances don’t mix. Water and oil stay ...

Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) play a pivotal role in stratospheric chemistry, particularly in the processes that lead to ozone depletion. Formed under extreme cold conditions in the polar ...
