Volatiles

China has two missions going to the South Pole to prospect for lunar volatiles, with Chang’e-7 and Chang’e-8.

Short for Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover, VIPER will set down close to the western edge of the Nobile Crater at the moon’s south pole, NASA announced on Monday, September 20.

Be careful do not boil the flowers, because all the fruity and grassy volatiles will spread throughout the room, not into your drink!

Identifying volatiles in cold traps is challenging because they are shrouded in darkness.

The agency said last month it decided to go ahead with that task order after electing to postpone one for launching the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover, or VIPER.

At the same time, seeds harvested from the sorghum lines preferred by birds had higher levels of 9 out of the 23 detected volatile organic compounds, with some fatty-acid-derived volatiles reaching 30-fold increases.

Maybe somehow we could even import enough volatiles to recreate early Mars?

Now researchers reporting in the journal on March 28 have discovered how mosquitoes pick up on acidic volatiles found in human sweat.

Such observations are of interest scientifically since they allow NASA to test and constrain models used to understand how water and other volatiles may be transported to the permanently shadowed craters near the lunar poles.

A drawback of the Moon is its low abundance of volatiles necessary for life such as hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon.

A large part of the binders used in the graphite industry for making "green blocks" are coke oven volatiles (COV).

Another alternative is to place the glassware under vacuum, lower the boiling points of the remaining volatiles.

Conversely, the loss of water and volatiles from a magma may cause it to essentially freeze or solidify.

Features associated with volatiles Pitted terrain has been observed in four craters on Vesta: Marcia, Cornelia, Numisia and Licinia.

In all cases, melting of solid rock requires high temperature, and also water or other volatiles which act as a catalyst by lowering the solidus temperature of the rock.

It is not known if or how these volatiles defend the host, but they could potentially interfere with the dodder's ability to locate and select hosts.

It is therefore likely that the smell of flatus is created by a combination of VSC, with minimal contribution from non-sulfur volatiles.

People can be exposed to coal tar pitch volatiles in the workplace by breathing them in, skin contact, or eye contact.

Seedlings of Cuscuta pentagona exhibit positive growth responses to volatiles released by tomato and other species of host plants.

The majority of these compounds are solubles molecules but the smaller molecules can be volatiles.
