One of the more persuasive arguments in favor of the potential existence of life beyond Earth is that the well-known chemical building blocks of that life are found throughout the galaxy. These chemical components aren't all present in all examined solar systems and planets, but they are common and behave in ways familiar to scientists …

One of the primary goals of the Curiosity mission to Mars has been to search for and hopefully identify organic compounds -- the carbon-based molecules that on Earth are the building blocks of life. No previous mission had quite the instruments and capacity needed to detect the precious organics, nor did they have the …
