Caltech researchers have created a beautiful Martian mosaic that lets anybody explore the Martian surface in vivid detail.

Computer simulations identified the conditions under which nanoscale cubes would self-assemble into a grid, incorporating flat triangular shapes between...

Some of the volcanoes of Mars could be active, meaning life may have survived beneath the Red Planet's surface fairly recently.

NASA Scientists have long speculated that there is organic salt on Mars, and NASA thinks that it has found a way to prove it. The study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, indirectly points to the presence of organic salts using data from the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) — a portable chemistry lab inside the Curiosity rover. In order to confirm what the data is suggesting, the lead author of the paper, James MT Lewis, has suggested using the Chemistry and Mineralogy (...

VOLCANOES on Mars may still be active, raising the possibility that aliens recently lived on the planet, according to research.Scientists found eviden

New evidence suggests that volcanoes on Mars may have erupted just 50,000 years ago, far more recently than previously thought.

Life on Mars? Volcanic Activity Indicates The Red Planet Was Recently Habitable One researcher says the latest data points to the fact that Mars isnt dead. Though Mars most volcanic period is thought to have occurred between 3 and 4 billion years ago, researchers from the University of Arizonas Lunar and Planetary Laboratory and the Planetary Science Institute said they have uncovered evidence showing the red planet might still be volcanically active today. If this were the case, microbial life...

Ideas, Inventions And Innovations Volcanoes on Mars Could Be Active Evidence of recent volcanic activity on Mars shows that eruptions could have taken place in the past 50,000 years, according to new study by researchers at the University of Arizonas Lunar and Planetary Laboratory and the Planetary Science Institute. Most volcanism on the Red Planet occurred between 3 and 4 billion years ago, with smaller eruptions in isolated locations continuing perhaps as recently as 3 million years ago. B...

Theres Evidence Volcanoes Are Active on Mars, Raising Chances of Recent Habitability Evidence seems to be mounting for a geologically and volcanically active Mars. A new, close study of volcanic features on the surface of the red planet has found that a lava deposit on the Elysium Planitia appears to be very recent indeed - as in, within the last 50,000 years.   On geological timescales, thats shockingly short. And it could mean that Mars was potentially habitable just as recently, with parts...

Evidence of recent activity from volcanoes on Mars shows that eruptions could have taken place in the past 50,000 years, according to a new study. Most volcanism on the red planet occurred between 3 and 4 billion years ago, with smaller eruptions in isolated locations continuing perhaps as recently as 3 million years ago. But, until now, there was no evidence to indicate Mars could still be volcanically active. “The young age of this deposit absolutely raises the possibility that there could ...
