Molecules on Titan Break a Core Chemistry Rule, Shaping Our View of the Moon’s Atmosphere
New Findings Challenge a Core Chemistry Principle on Titan Scientists have long trusted the rule of thumb in chemistry known as “like dissolves like”—the idea that substances with similar polarity or intermolecular forces mix or dissolve more readily than dissimilar ones. Recent observations and modeling conducted on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, suggest that its ultra-cold…
