Organic molecules

SwRI researchers are expanding corrosion modeling software to predict if icy worlds such as Saturn’s moon Enceladus may be able to harbor microbial life. In this cross-polarized light microscope image, pores are visible in glycine-doped ice formed in a laboratory investigation of Enceladus’ subsurface conditions. These pores could form habitable niches for microbial life.

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Sees Mars in a New Light

The galaxy observed by Webb shows an Einstein ring caused by a phenomenon known as lensing, which occurs when two galaxies are almost perfectly aligned from our perspective on Earth. The gravity from the galaxy in the foreground causes the light from the background galaxy to be distorted and magnified, like looking through the stem of a wine glass. Because they are magnified, lensing allows astronomers to study very distant galaxies in more detail than otherwise possible.

Webb telescope detects universe’s most distant organic molecules

UVB has many uses today but requires inefficient and toxic sources to produce. A collaborative effort involving Kyushu University and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz developed a system where blue LED light is upconverted to UVB light. Moreover, the system uses only organic materials, opening the door for a more sustainable and ecofriendly method of generating UVB light.
