Previously undetected organic compounds have been found in ice ejected into space from Enceladus, making the satellite a ...

Analysis of organic compounds -- called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) -- extracted from the Ryugu asteroid and Murchison meteorite has found that certain PAHs likely formed in the cold areas ...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) enter the air from gasoline, pesticides, tobacco smoke, and thousands of other products and processes. They can increase the risk of airway problems and other health ...

This review synthesizes the utility of exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in cancer diagnosis, treatment efficacy prediction, and recurrence monitoring. As endogenous metabolic byproducts, VOCs ...

In 2013, the Curiosity rover drilled this hole, which measures about 0.6 inches wide and 2.6 inches deep, into martian rock. The sample is now thought to contain long-chain organic molecules. NASA / ...

A team has shown that artificial photosynthesis is feasible using organic materials. Using the technique, they successfully synthesized useful organic compounds, including pharmaceutical materials, ...

Jets of icy water and gas erupt from Enceladus' south pole. The Cassini space probe captured this photograph and also performed a close flyby of the ...

Using APF-80, the researchers successfully captured and resolved the structures of 12 nucleophilic compounds using X-ray diffraction. These included naturally occurring alkaloids like caffeine and ...

The solvent dichloromethane, or DCM, is commonly used to strip paint and cut grease. It's also what generations of chemistry ...
