the rock broke open, revealing yellow crystals of elemental sulfur: brimstone. Although sulfates are fairly common on Mars, ...

NASA’s Curiosity rover has made a groundbreaking discovery on Mars by uncovering pure sulfur crystals within a broken rock. This finding is considered a significant scientific breakthrough ...

Mars just dropped a surprise golden nugget —literally. Curiosity accidentally cracked open an ordinary-looking rock, only to ...

The intriguing chemistry of a rock collected by the Perseverance rover could trace to microbial activity — or not.

"These rocks are very different from anything we've seen on Mars before," coauthor Roger Wiens, professor of Earth, atmospheric, and planetary sciences at Purdue University, said in a statement.

Scientist is proud to have led "the first astrobiology study to involve Algeria," and believes that his findings are a major step towards finding evidence of life on Mars. Scientists searching for ...

Scientists may finally have a way to detect ancient life on Mars by studying microbial fossils preserved in sulfate minerals. Gypsum deposits on Mars may be hiding evidence of past microbial life — ...

proving they can detect the fossils of microbes in gypsum samples that are a close analogy to sulfate rocks on Mars. “Our findings provide a methodological framework for detecting biosignatures ...
