We need to develop a nickel sulfate processing capacity right here in Sudbury, along with pre-cathode active material (pCAM) ...

A rock on Mars spilled a surprising yellow treasure after Curiosity accidentally cracked through its unremarkable exterior.

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 — ...

After the Environmental Protection Agency deemed the mineral contamination in Lincoln Creek naturally occurring, local ...

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

Scientists recently tested it on Earth by examining gypsum deposits in Algeria, which are similar to Martian sulfate minerals. The result? Fossilized microbial filaments, along with biosignatures ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A laser-powered mass spectrometer has been shown to detect microbial fossils in gypsum, a mineral analogous to Martian sulfate rocks. This method could guide ...

When the water evaporates, the minerals mix and dry out, leaving the sulfates behind. These sulfate minerals can tell us a lot about Mars, such as its water history, and how it has weathered over ...

“Our findings provide a methodological framework for detecting biosignatures in Martian sulfate minerals, potentially guiding future Mars exploration missions,” said Youcef Sellam, PhD student ...
