Titan’s Surprising Chemistry Break: Polar and Nonpolar Substances Co-Crystallize in Frigid Seas
Titan’s Chemistry Breakthrough Stuns Planetary Scientists Tainting our understanding of chemistry’s limits, Titan — Saturn’s largest moon — has revealed a surprising way that chemistry can operate in extreme cold. A collaborative effort involving Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has shown that hydrogen cyanide, a highly polar molecule, can…
