土星最大的卫星土卫六长期以来一直吸引着研究人员,因为它的演化可能揭示早期塑造我们星球的化学过程。土卫六寒冷的地表和富含氮气和甲烷的稠密大气层,被认为类似于数十亿年前年轻地球上存在的条件。通过探索土卫六,科学家们希望能够揭示关于生命起源的新线索。(背景延伸:土卫六是太阳系中除地球外唯一已知存在地表液态湖泊和河流的星球,其大气主要由氮气和甲烷组成,类似于早期地球的环境。NASA计划于2028年发射“蜻 ...
For decades, chemistry students have learned a simple truth: polar and nonpolar substances don’t mix. Water and oil stay ...
Scientists have found that on Titan, substances that should remain separate can actually combine under freezing conditions.
New research reveals that molecules of methane and ethane can infiltrate the crystal lattice of frozen hydrogen cyanide on Saturn's largest moon, Titan.
For thirteen years, from 2004 to 2017, the Cassini-Huygens mission conducted a detailed survey of the Saturn system. It ...
Titan’s harsh chemistry breaks basic rules, offering new clues about how life’s building blocks might form in space.
