The liquid solidifies when exposed to a guest vapor, whose molecules replace the n-hexyl substituents in the cavities of the pillar-shaped molecules. At the same time, the substituents located ...

The exoplanet is K2-18 b, a world nearly nine times Earth’s size orbiting a star some 120 light-years from Earth. Webb has observed signs of water vapor on exoplanets before, but never an ...

The water vapor, detected using the James Webb Space Telescope’s mid-infrared instrument, was also found at a distance from the star similar to the Earth’s distance from the sun (93 million ...
