Unlocking the origins of life starts with understanding how simple space molecules turned into complex building blocks. To do ...

Curiosity has been exploring the Gale Crater on Mars since 2012 and its sample with the fatty acid molecules were found in a sample collected from an area called 'Yellowknife Bay' in 2013. Scientists ...

Recent studies have revealed that electrons passing through chiral molecules exhibit significant spin polarization—a ...

Curiosity scientists had previously discovered small, simple organic molecules on Mars, but finding these larger compounds provides the first evidence that organic chemistry advanced toward the ...

During this era, simple organic molecules began forming RNA, proteins, and fatty acids. The precise mechanisms remain elusive, but ongoing research suggests that asteroids played a pivotal role in ...
