A discovery about Saturn's moon Titan has challenged what scientists thought was a basic rule of chemistry. There, in the extreme cold, some supposedly fundamentally incompatible molecules may combine ...

The rules of chemistry on Titan, Saturn's largest moon, may well be rewritten. As a result, the chemistry of life could also be rewritten. An unexpected discovery reveals how frozen crystals of a ...

Scientists at JILA, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)and the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU-Boulder), have applied their expertise in ultracold ...

In molecular crystals that exhibit singlet fission, quantum yields depend strongly on intermolecular configurations that control the relevant electronic couplings. Here, we explore how noncovalent ...

Researchers have long been interested in Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, and its icy environment, which harbours lakes, seas, sand dunes and a thick atmosphere full of nitrogen, methane, and complex ...

The first stable quantum gas of molecules with large electric dipole moments has been made by physicists in the US. Unlike other quantum gases, the molecules interact with each other over relatively ...

The frigid conditions on the surface of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, allow simple molecules in its atmosphere to break one of the most fundamental rules in chemistry, a new study shows. According to ...
