The discovery of ancient water in a planet-forming disk reveals that some of the water found in comets鈥攁nd maybe even Earth鈥攊s older than the disk's star itself, offering breakthrough insights into the history of water ...
A team led by astronomers at Leiden University in the Netherlands and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Virginia (U.S.) have, for the first time, robustly detected semi-heavy water ice around a young sunlike star. ...
A new study provides fresh insight into traditional acid-base chemistry by revealing that the mutual neutralization of isolated hydronium (H3O鈦�) and hydroxide (OH鈦�) ions is driven by electron transfer rather than the ...
Researchers have made a discovery regarding the TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid 1) ion channel and its role in pain perception. The study reveals how solvent molecules can modulate pain signals, offering a potential ...
Proton transfer is central to numerous important systems, from biology to energy storage. Probing the details of proton transfer reactions can provide insight into how to control these processes.
Thanks to observations by the Solar Occultation in the Infrared (SOIR) instrument on the Venus Express space probe of the European Space Agency (ESA), researchers have discovered an unexpected increase in the abundances of ...
A low-cost, tin-based catalyst can selectively convert carbon dioxide to three widely produced chemicals鈥攅thanol, acetic acid and formic acid.
In the coming years, NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) will send two robotic missions to explore Jupiter's icy moon Europa. These are none other than NASA's Europa Clipper and the ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE), ...
Around 500 million years ago, early vertebrates in the seas became fish, adopting an inner skeleton and a flexible spine based on a nanocomposite of fibers and mineral, known as bone material. This "invention" of evolution ...
The origin of Earth's water has been an enduring mystery. There are different hypotheses and theories explaining how the water got here, and lots of evidence supporting them.
