Resarchers, including Dr. Michael Tice at Texas A&M University, use the sophisticated technology on NASA's Perseverance rover ...

When we imagine the search for life on Mars, we often picture high-tech rovers scanning dusty landscapes or orbiters ...

And scientists said the discovery is of 'high interest' in the search for potential signs of life. The samples were collected by the 'Sample Analysis at Mars' (SAM) – one of the instruments on ...

Researchers say they are one step closer to finding out if life ever existed on Mars. An international team has found “compelling evidence” of multiple mineral-forming events just below the pl ...

A team of scientists just discovered the longest organic molecules yet seen on Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun and and a tantalizing venue for humankind’s search for life beyond Earth.

The molecules cannot currently be confirmed as evidence of past life on the red planet, but they add to the growing list of compounds that robotic explorers have discovered on Mars in recent years.

But they ended up discovering something else entirely: the largest organic compounds ever documented on Mars. The compounds date to 3.7 billion years ago—around the same time that life first ...
