For decades, chemistry students have learned a simple truth: polar and nonpolar substances don’t mix. Water and oil stay apart. But researchers from Chalmers University in Sweden and NASA’s Jet ...

Saturn’s largest moon might not be the barren world it seems. Beneath Titan’s icy crust lies a vast ocean of liquid water—possibly as deep as 300 miles. While its surface hosts lakes of methane and ...

A puzzling image from the Huygens probe's 2005 Titan landing, showing river-like channels, continues to intrigue scientists.

This artist's concept of a lake at the north pole of Saturn's moon Titan illustrates raised rims and rampartlike features as seen by NASA's Cassini spacecraft. Titan, Saturn's largest moon, is a ...

If life exists on Saturn’s hydrogen- and methane-rich moon Titan, there will be two sure signs: hydrogen depletion near the lunar surface, and less acetylene than we’d expect. The Cassini probe has ...
