What's Next: The research showed that by varying the concentration of the reagent, scientists can determine the concentrations of hundreds of
molecules in a complex mixture without knowing much about the molecules in advance, other than the fact that they possess a certain chemical group.
When an icy impact occurred, the impactor's kinetic energy became heat energy, instantly melted some ice, gouged out a crater, and kicked up into Mars» thin atmosphere large amounts of debris mixed with water (liquid, ice crystals, and vapor)-- and
complex organic
molecules that obviously came recently from life.127 Then, the dirt and salt - water
mixture settled back to the surface
in vast layers of thin sheets — strata — especially around the crater.
