Astronomers using the Gemini South telescope have confirmed that the atmosphere of a scorching exoplanet carries the same ...

A detection of phosphine in the atmosphere of a brown dwarf 54 light-years from Earth deepens the mystery of phosphorus chemistry throughout the Milky Way. An ancient object more than 10 billion years ...

Why has Venus remained so stubbornly difficult to read, even after decades of planetary science? A proposed Chinese ...

Criegee intermediates are transient carbonyl oxide species generated during the ozonolysis of alkenes, and they play a pivotal role in atmospheric oxidation processes. Their formation initiates a ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how atmospheric composition and chemical processes are observed, interpreted, and modeled. The complexity of atmospheric chemistry—shaped by nonlinear ...

Mars’ north polar vortex locks its atmosphere in extreme cold and darkness, freezing out water vapor and triggering a dramatic rise in ozone. Scientists found that the lack of sunlight and moisture ...

Methane levels in Earth’s atmosphere surged faster than ever in the early 2020s, and scientists say the reason was a surprising mix of chemistry and climate. A temporary slowdown in the atmosphere’s ...

Nitrates in the atmosphere reduce air quality and play an important role in climate change. An international team led by Hokkaido University researchers has revealed how chemical processes in the ...

This report summarizes the rationale and need for supporting a comprehensive U.S. research program in atmospheric chemistry; comments on the broad trends in laboratory, field, satellite, and modeling ...

There is another way forward. A circular economy for space applies the same principles that aims to transform modern waste ...
