That means if there were organic material present there, it could have been preserved.
Most bacteria opt for an easy life breaking down organic material that is already dead.
Small-size OLED screens are created by placing organic material that emits three colors red, green and blue on a substrate.
Soil samples from around the stone's socket will be analysed and any organic material found radio-carbon dated if possible.
"This impact scenario provides the three ingredients believed necessary for life: liquid water, organic material and energy, " she added.
The trouble is that not much from that period survives and particularly not organic material, so we cannot be sure.
Experts said it was likely that easterly gales had whipped up organic material in the sea to cause the foam.

The company founders were researching how small silicon compounds and calcium could bind to leaves and other organic material to produce fossils.

Recycling the once living and organic material through their systems and outputting the basic building blocks of life (nitrogen, phosphorous, minerals, etc).
FORBES: Why Butchers Are Sexy And Cutting Meat Is An Art Form
More than 150 million years ago, massive blooms of microscopic marine plants created a huge blanket of organic material on the sea floor.
Poor water circulation meant that the organic material was covered before it could decompose, and it was eventually transformed into oil and natural gas.
Rather, it is cut high on the stalk and the remains of the plant are left to rot into a mat of organic material.
Methane either can arise from microbial activity in shallow deposits of organic material, or it can come from more deep-seated processes involving oil formation.

Researchers note that the tool found in the skull of the other mummy, dating from 2, 200 years ago, was also made of an organic material.
In technical terms, the process starts with the transformation of organic material using cost effective, intermediate technologies, into a highly digestive diet for pigs, ducks and chicken.
What scientists are really talking about is organic material, the kind found in any compost -- not a reason to spend billions of dollars of public funds.
"That is really cool because rapid burial is the scenario that is most advantageous for preservation of organic material, if any was present at that time, " Michalski said.
In some locations, sedimentation created sufficient pressure to convert -- to cook -- the unoxidized carbon in the organic material into oil, some of which was trapped in reservoirs.
This is because the degree of carbonisation of organic material as measured with electron spin resonance is dependent only upon the amount of carbon and not on the time material has been heated for.

Here is the recipe he and his team discovered: organic material, like grass clippings or agricultural waste, is mixed with a stabilizing peptide powder and from that protein is extracted from the materials, stabilized.

Also, scientists at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University have been able to build a nano-thin layer of particles of titanium dioxide, a substance that reacts with sunlight to break down dirt and other organic material.
They built a thin layer, or "nanostructure, " using minute particles of titanium dioxide, a substance that reacts with sunlight to break down dirt and other organic material and can be coated on cotton to keep the fabric clean.
Though it has been estimated that in Earth's early history only a few percent of comets or asteroids arrived at low enough angles, the bombardment would have been heavy enough to deliver a significant amount of intact organic material and water, Blank said.
Opportunity has been trundling around Mars ever since, though it was designed for only a ninety-day mission. (Spirit got stuck in a sand trap in 2009 and quit transmitting nearly a year later.) It never found the lake bed, or organic material of any kind.
"The guess is that both the water and the dark material, which we think is organic-rich material, were delivered by the same objects impacting Mercury: some mixture of comets and the kinds of asteroids that are rich in organic and volatile material like water ice, " Prof Solomon said.
To pull this off they took advantage of a number of recent engineering advances reduced anode-cathode spacing, evolved microbes and novel separator materials though the fundamental process is pretty straight-forward: special bacteria (those evolved microbes) are introduced to organic waste material.

The material is an organic photovoltaic semiconductor (called rr-P3HT) which, unlike the metal or silicon-based materials used until now for such biotechnological interfaces, is soft, light, flexible and highly biocompatible and naturally sensitive to visible light.
In these areas, the water appears to be covered by a dark material that the researchers suspect might be complex organic molecules.
There was even speculation about a dark material on the tiny planet that could conceivably contain the same organic molecules being hunted on Mars, the carbon-based building blocks that are essential to all life.
Earlier this month, a Washington Post freelance reviewer alerted the paper to numerous similarities between material in "Seeds of Hope" and passages on Wikipedia and on websites for organic tea and the history of tobacco.
