These are known as alkanes, which fall under the umbrella of the chemical ... sulphur-containing organic compounds in Gale crater sedimentary rocks, with chemical structures of up to six carbon atoms.

These are known as alkanes, which fall under the umbrella of the chemical compounds known as hydrocarbons. It's an exciting time in the search for life on Mars. In March this year, scientists ...

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has detected the largest organic (carbon-containing) molecules ever found on the red planet. The discovery is one of the most significant findings in the search for ...

In previous studies, Curiosity identified organic molecules in sedimentary rocks within Gale Crater, with structures containing up to six carbon atoms. The latest discovery, however, revealed carbon ...

While the presence of these molecules is not proof of ancient life on Mars, scientists say it shows we could detect chemical signatures of past life, if it ever existed. Scientists have announced ...

Yet, the physical nature of this fluorous effect is unknown. Here, we shed light on the fluorous effect by analyzing the infrared absorption spectra of perfluorinated and semifluorinated alkanes in ...

Chlorinated alkanes (CAs), also referred to as chlorinated paraffins, are chlorinated hydrocarbons (n-alkanes) with carbon chain lengths ranging from 10 to 38 carbon atoms and varying chlorine ...
