That does not mean that the detected alkanes are evidence of life on Mars; the conclusion relies on modeling how radiation ...

Organic molecules found by the Curiosity rover are too common to be explained by any process we know, other than life, ...

Known non-biological sources, from meteorites to surface chemistry, fall short of accounting for organic compounds detected ...

Normal alkanes C n H 2n+2 are extended linear chain molecules that form ordered lamellar structures and crystals. When the size of the chains reaches n > 120, such ultra-long alkanes manifest chain ...

C16 n-alkanes was investigated over microsphere catalysts with varying surface acidity and ZSM-5 as the active components.
