Mars' atmosphere moves differently from Earth's due to gravity waves. These waves affect air circulation at high altitudes.

Qi Zhang, a doctoral student at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics and Umeå University, explores in her doctoral thesis ...

A new study by researchers including those at the University of Tokyo revealed that atmospheric gravity waves play a crucial ...

N ew research suggests that Mars' missing atmosphere, long a mystery for planetary scientists, could be hiding within the planet's clay-rich surface.This surprising discovery sheds light on how ...

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

A study suggests Mars takes its red hue from a type of mineral that forms in cool water, which could reveal insights about whether Mars was ever able to support life.

Fluid-rock interactions on ancient Mars may have produced abundant magnetic minerals that preserved unusually intense records ...

Nuclear pulse propulsion is a technology that would work. It was being developed in the 1960s but it was stopped because of ...

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.

While Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field protect the planet from these solar events, Mars has no such protection. But the sun's solar particles could be a boon for studies of — and travel to ...

Our study reveals that ferrihydrite formation on Mars required the presence of both oxygen — whether from the atmosphere or other sources — and water capable of reacting with iron.” ...
