The pervading carpet of perchlorate chemicals found on Mars may boost the chances that microbial life exists on the Red Planet — but perchlorates are also perilous to the health of future crews ...

Researchers have long known that there is water in the form of ice on Mars. Now, new research shows that it is possible that there is liquid water close to the surface of Mars. The explanation is that ...

In chambers that mimic Mars’ conditions, researchers have shown how small amounts of liquid water could form on the planet despite its below-freezing temperatures. Liquid water is an essential ...

Due to extreme temperatures and the dryness of Mars, it’s thought to be impossible for liquid water to form on the planet’s surface, a critical precondition for habitability. The only hope of finding ...

Mars may have liquid water close to its surface, according to new data from NASA's Curiosity rover which raises the chance of finding life on the red planet. Researchers have long known that there was ...

Adding to the growing literature on possible life conditions on the Red Planet, new research from NASA's Mars rover Curiosity shows that it is possible that there is liquid water close to the surface ...

Perchlorate, a chemical used in rocket fuel, plastic and other substances, has been found in common grocery store and fast foods—with the highest levels in baby and kid foods—and previous research has ...
