Scientists recreated the conditions on Saturn’s moon Titan and watched molecules that shouldn’t mix form stable crystals together — at around minus 179°C, polar hydrogen cyanide accepts nonpolar methane and ethane into its crystal structure, breaking one of chemistry’s most familiar rules of thumb.
“Like dissolves like” is one of chemistry’s most useful shortcuts. Polar materials tend to associate with polar materials,…

Voyager 2 is nearly 50 years old, losing about 4 watts of power every year as its plutonium power source fades — and NASA just bought it at least another year of science with an all-at-once power-system swap engineers called the “Big Bang,” performed on a spacecraft with razor-thin power margins and no possibility of physical repair.
Voyager 2 has no repair port that anyone can reach, no spare spacecraft waiting nearby and no possibility…
