The world banned CFCs and put the ozone layer on a path to recovery. Now thousands of dying satellites are introducing aluminium oxide nanoparticles into the upper atmosphere — particles scientists warn can catalyse the chlorine chemistry that destroys ozone.
The Montreal Protocol produced a result that can be measured in the atmosphere. Nearly all controlled ozone-depleting substances…

Every methane rainstorm on Titan may be performing a primitive chemistry experiment: a 2025 study found a plausible way splashing lake droplets could wrap themselves in organic bilayers, producing hollow structures remarkably similar to the membranes surrounding living cells.
Imagine a methane storm passing over one of Titan’s dark polar seas. A heavy drop strikes the surface,…
