In 2024, scientists made headlines when they found evidence of copious amounts of water inside a layer of the Martian crust.

Many studies suggest then presence of water on ancient Mars billions of years ago,” said Katayama in a statement. “But our ...

Researchers have found new evidence for a massive subsurface ocean on Mars, again raising the possibility of microbial life.

Their discovery showed that even tucked away in our innards – in the walls of our stomachs, subjected to vinegar-like pH ...

More than 3 billion years ago, Mars intermittently had liquid water on its surface. After the planet lost much of its ...

Research published late last year indicated “seismic discontinuities in the Martian crust” that scientists believe could be an indicator of liquid water under the Martian surface, raising the ...

Since its arrival on the Martian surface five years ago, NASA’s Perseverance rover has been busy scouring the Red Planet for ...

If Mars ever hosted microorganisms in its bygone oceans, their fossils might still be preserved in minerals—and now, we have ...

Scientists Ikuo Katayama from Hiroshima University and Yuya Akamatsu from the Research Institute for Marine Geodynamics ...

Water once existed in abundance of at the surface of Mars. How much of that water has been stored in the planet's crust is still unclear, according to a new analysis.

An arrowhead-shaped rock on Mars sporting features that may hint at ancient microbial activity on the Red Planet has left ...

In 1975, NASA’s Viking mission tested Martian soil for microbial life using liquid water. A recent theory suggests this approach may have destroyed microbes adapted to Mars' dry, salt-driven ...
