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

For more than a decade, a robotic explorer has been traveling across Mars, quietly collecting clues about a time when the Red ...

Chains of up to a dozen carbon atoms have been detected in what appears to have been an ancient lakebed on Mars, contributing ...

Scientists found the longest organic molecules ever on Mars — ancient carbon chains that resemble the building blocks of life ...

While they didn’t find them that time, something else caught their eye: trace amounts of three carbon-chain molecules known as a decane, undecane, and dodecane. With 10, 11, and 12 carbons ...

Molecule chains containing up to twelve carbon atoms linked together were detected in a 3.7 billion-year-old rock sample collected from a dried-up Martian lakebed named Yellowknife Bay ...

The researchers validated these theoretical predictions using nanographene spin chains. Nanographenes, small pieces of the ...
