The Curiosity rover detected the largest organic molecules to date on Mars, which may be fragments of fatty acids, or some of the chemical building blocks of life.

Functional carbon particles, known as carbon dots, can transform sunlight into energy and extract hydrogen from water. Prof. Dr. Dirk M. Guldi, a chemist at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität ...

Organic molecules are chemical compounds that are made primarily of carbon and hydrogen and often other elements like oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur.

At the core of the carbon cycle is photosynthesis, where plants, algae and select bacteria transform atmospheric CO2 into organic compounds using sunlight. This remarkable process not only ...
