Complex organic molecules that form part of the chain of chemical reactions that can result in life's building blocks have ...

A team of researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering and the University of ...

The small moon is one of 274 orbiting Saturn and has long been considered a prime candidate in the search for life beyond ...

A fresh analysis of old data has found rich organic chemistry within the hidden ocean of Saturn’s moon Enceladus ...

The south pole of Enceladus—a tiny moon orbiting Saturn—is a volatile place. In this region, the moon’s subsurface ocean ...

EPFL physicists and their collaborators have directly observed and controlled a rare double-dome pattern of superconductivity in twisted trilayer ...

In a new study, scientists have shown that chemical receptors that plants use to recognize nitrogen-fixing bacteria have ...

Low nitrogen availability is the number one limitation to plant growth in most ecosystems. Plants in the bean family and other closely related families evolved a symbiotic relationship with bacteria ...

This article explores how our understanding of the universe has evolved—from the scale of everyday experience down to the ...

Scientists reveal for the first time the atomic structure of liquid carbon, key to exoplanets and nuclear fusion.

Scientists then defined the “edge” of this gaseous material by introducing a laser, which formed a wall around the atoms.

Cold atoms could also potentially measure much lower vacuum pressures than ion gauges can. The current lowest pressure they’ve reliably measured is around 10 -9 Pa, and NIST scientists are working on ...
