Scientists have identified one of the largest carbon-based molecules in space yet. It could help us decode the origins of ...

All life on Earth is based on the element carbon, but scientists aren’t sure what initially supplied all that carbon to our ...

A team led by researchers at MIT has discovered that a distant interstellar cloud contains an abundance of pyrene, a type of ...

Complex carbon-based molecules crucial to life on Earth originated somewhere in space, but we didn't know where. Now, huge amounts of them have been spotted in a huge, cold cloud of gas ...

Researchers detected pyrene, a type of large carbon-containing molecule known as a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), in ...

This discovery supports the idea that life's building blocks were present early in the Solar System's formation and could ...

Exploring the lesser-known corners of the wine world, naturally. Above, Patrick Sullivan, producer of an impressive range of ...

The molecule in question is called pyrene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon or PAH for short. The complicated-sounding name tells us these molecules are made of rings of carbon atoms. Carbon ...

Barrington Schools Superintendent Robert Wargo first disclosed in a letter to parents last week that elevated levels of contaminates were detected during the renovation of Primrose Hill Elementary ...

The molecule, called pyrene, is made up of four fused planar rings of carbon. It's therefore categorized as a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) — one of the most abundant complex molecules ...
