The compounds of carbon are known as Organic Compounds. Also, apart from carbon, most of the organic compounds contain hydrogen, oxygen or other elements. Like methane, ethanol, ethane, ethene, ethyne ...

The Orion Nebula, a portion of which is pictured here, is home to a red dwarf star known as d203-506. Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to detect a carbon molecule known as methyl cation ...

Scientists seeking to understand the origins of life have found a new organic compound in the material from which a star like the Sun is forming. Researchers from Queen Mary University of London (QMUL ...

Scientists studying a rock sample collected by NASA’s Curiosity rover have uncovered something tantalizing: the largest ...

VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, are compounds that contain carbon atoms and that, at room temperature, easily evaporate. Too small to see and virtually omnipresent both indoors and out, they can ...

NASA’s Curiosity rover has uncovered some of the largest organic molecules ever detected on Mars, and scientists say ordinary geology may not fully explain them.

Organic chemistry is the study of the structure and properties of carbon compounds. The field of organic chemistry covers the synthesis, isolation, purification and reactions of organic compounds and ...

Elemental analysis offers scientists a method of determining the elements present in an organic compound, and in what quantity. Various fields of science rely on this type of analysis for research, ...
