Titan’s Icy Surface Just Broke a Fundamental Rule of Chemistry
Scientists have found that on Titan, substances that should remain separate can actually combine under freezing conditions. NASA and Chalmers University researchers discovered that hydrogen cyanide can form stable crystals with methane and ethane, overturning a basic rule of chemistry. The finding offers new clues about how life’s essential molecules may have arisen in harsh, [...]
Under these conditions, researchers have now observed a chemical reaction that was considered impossible. read more on t3n.de
On Titan, Saturn's largest moon, a recent discovery made by researchers at the Chalmers University of Technology in collaboration with the Nasa challenges fundamental principles of chemistry. This breakthrough also offers new clues about the origin of the...
"This discovery may help us understand something that is happening on a huge scale, on a moon the size of Mercury," says Martin Rahm.
