Research shows Mars dust storms create electric discharges that drive chemical reactions, reshaping the planet's surface and ...

Thin, seasonal ice may have protected ancient lakes on Mars, allowing liquid water to last for decades despite cold ...

A NASA rover that launched from Florida detected electrical sparks igniting within small dusty tornadoes whirling on Mars' surface.

All evidence points to Mars having had a carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere billions of years ago, but insufficient carbonates in Martian soil challenge this theory. Now, a new study using data from ...
