Scientists may be one step closer in their hunt for signs of past life on Mars after the Curiosity rover's latest find.

Nuclear power is emerging as a key, enabling technology for sustained human presence on the moon. With multiple countries and ...

While the technology still needs significant work, a new analysis of meteorites points to valuable targets in the solar ...

NASA’s Curiosity rover has uncovered some of the largest organic molecules ever detected on Mars, and scientists say ordinary geology may not fully explain them.

A recent study showed that Mars was warm and wet billions of years ago. The finding contrasts with another theory that this era was mainly cold and icy. The result has implications for the idea that ...

Mars Express and Curiosity detected methane and long-chain organic molecules in Gale Crater, including decane, undecane, and dodecane analyzed by the SAM laboratory.

NASA’s Curiosity rover has assembled a string of chemical evidence from ancient Martian rocks that, taken together, builds ...

Microbes have just pulled off a feat that sounds like science fiction, stripping valuable metals from a meteorite fragment ...

A new Astrobiology study suggests non biological processes may not fully explain organic molecules found by NASA’s Curiosity rover on Mars. Could ancient life be a possible answer?

Dust from asteroid Bennu is revealing a surprising origin story for life’s building blocks. New research suggests some amino acids formed in frozen ice exposed to radiation, not warm liquid water as ...
