Unexpected discovery on Saturn’s moon challenges our view on chemistry before life emerged
Oct 16, 2025 A new discovery on Saturn's moon Titan shows that even incompatible substances can mix in extreme cold, reshaping ideas about chemistry before life began. (Nanowerk News) Scientists have long been interested in Saturn’s largest, orange-coloured moon as its evolution can teach us more about our own planet...
Vibration-powered chemistry makes hydrogen peroxide without electricity
Oct 16, 2025 Scientists have found a way to make hydrogen peroxide from vibration instead of electricity or light, using motion and water to create a clean oxidant. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Hydrogen peroxide is one of the most versatile chemicals in modern industry. It disinfects water, sterilizes medical instruments, and supports...
