NASA's Curiosity Rover has discovered long carbon chains on Mars. On Earth, molecules like these are overwhelmingly produced ...

Billions of years ago, Mars was warm, wet, and capable of sustaining liquid water on its surface. Scientists have long ...

Only the hardy carbon-rich asteroids make it to Earth, after surviving the Sun’s heat and the fiery burnup that occurs when ...

The siderite identified in Curiosity data helps confirm and refine models of Mars's early warm period, more than 3.5 billion ...

Tutolo led a new study of rock samples collected by the Curiosity rover that might have answered this question. The mystery ...

But cement, the crucial powder that serves as the binder in concrete, has become one of the planet’s biggest climate threats, ...

NASA's Curiosity rover landed on Mars on Aug. 5, 2012, and has travelled more than 34 kilometres on the Martian surface. The discovery of carbonate suggests that the atmosphere contained enough carbon ...

K2-18b, a potentially habitable exoplanet 124 lightyears away, may contain biomarker DMS, but its habitability remains ...

The Curiosity rover identified hidden caches of the mineral siderite, which could help explain why Mars lost its habitable climate.

The exoplanet K2-18b could harbor a massive ocean, but scientists will need to study the planet more to see if it’s really ...

U.S. team of researchers detected signs of two chemicals in the planet's atmosphere long considered to be "biosignatures" ...

A ground-breaking project to suck carbon out of the sea has started operating on England's south coast. The small pilot scheme, known as SeaCURE, is funded by the UK government as part of its search ...
