This technique is potentially useful for separating industrially important organic compounds from crude oil. Isomers are compounds with the same chemical formula but different structures.

A research team has discovered an electrochemical method that allows highly selective para-position single-carbon insertion ...

Carbon is the cornerstone of most biologically produced organic compounds such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats and DNA. All of these compounds contain, in addition to carbon, many other elements ...

For years, astronomers have wondered where the Red Planet got its organic carbon compounds, which are associated with life as we know it on Earth. Organic carbon often comes from biological ...

The organic compounds discovered—different combinations of carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine—are the same or similar to chlorinated organics detected in the mid-1970s by the Viking landers.

Unraveling the origin stories of the Tissint meteorite's organic compounds can help scientists understand whether the Red Planet ever hosted life, as well as Earth's geologic history.

Vibrios are genetically and ecologically diverse heterotrophic bacteria that are ubiquitous in marine environments. Vibrios can utilize a wide range of organic carbon compounds, and have very ...
