NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has detected the largest organic (carbon-containing) molecules ever found on the red planet. The ...

The rapid disappearance of the amber color of the bromine at room temperature is characteristic of reaction with alkenes. (colorless) (purple) (colorless ...

An unsolved challenge in catalysis is the efficient and selective functionalization of simple alkanes and plentiful hydrocarbon feedstocks. One promising approach since the late 1990’s is the use of ...

While the presence of these molecules is not proof of ancient life on Mars, scientists say it shows we could detect chemical ...

Complete combustion of alkenes produces carbon dioxide and water, provided there is a plentiful supply of oxygen. Incomplete combustion of alkenes occurs where oxygen is limited and produces water ...

NASA’s Curiosity Martian rover finds organic-like, long-chain alkanes preserved in the planet’s mudstone Twelve years after ...

NASA's Curiosity rover has discovered the largest chunk of organic compounds on Mars, hinting at potential life on the Red ...
