Article # 19-19344: "Global airborne sampling reveals a previously unobserved dimethyl sulfide oxidation mechanism in the marine atmosphere," by Patrick R. Veres et al.

Natural dimethyl sulfide gradients would lead marine predators to higher prey biomass. Communications Biology , 2021; 4 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s42003-021-01668-3 Cite This Page : ...

Dimethyl sulfide, also known as DMS, ... by marine organisms, most notably the microscopic plants known as phytoplankton that live in the nutrient-rich upper layer of the ocean.

While the detection of dimethyl sulfide is very tentative, K2-18 b is increasingly showing signs it is a water world with potential—if not for astrobiological reasons, for better understanding ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope confirmed that the planet K2-18b has traces of dimethyl sulfide, a potential biosignature of marine microorganisms.

A chemical called dimethyl sulfide popped up in an analysis of exoplanet K2-18b’s atmosphere. On Earth, it’s only made by living organisms.

Dimethyl sulfide is cool—and a potential biosignature—but scientists are urging caution before we declare a plankton party some 120 light-years away.

Dimethyl sulfide is in the news after NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope may have detected relatively high levels of it in the atmosphere of an exoplanet called K2-18 b ...

By analyzing data from NASA and the European Space Agency's Webb Space Telescope, the researchers found evidence of dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide in the atmosphere of the planet known as ...

The work, announced Wednesday, builds on previous observations from JWST published in 2023 by the same team that yielded weak hints of the molecule dimethyl sulfide (DMS) on K2-18 b, a planet that ...

Dimethyl sulfide is the largest natural source of atmospheric sulfur on Earth, which means that it gets into the atmosphere and cycles around. But it starts its journey in the ocean.
