Mars may be smaller than Earth, but new research suggests it outpaced our planet when it came to forming its core. Scientists from NASA’s Johnson Space Center have uncovered evidence that Mars’ ...

Scientists peering into the very heart of hearts of the planet Mars have found a deeply unexpected structure. There, at the innermost core of the planet, InSight seismic data reveals a solid mass ...

Mars is known for its barren desert landscape and dry climate. But two recent studies in the journals Nature and Science go beneath the surface,... The core of Mars looks like Earth’s. What makes the ...

It's time now for our science news roundup from Short Wave, NPR's science podcast. I am joined by the show's two hosts, Regina Barber and Emily Kwong. Hi, y'all. EMILY KWONG, BYLINE: Hi. REGINA BARBER ...

The planet Mars is home to thick layers of clay that can span hundreds of feet. Since they need water to form, these outcrops have long been of interest to scientists looking for signs of past life on ...

Three years ago, Martian dust shrouded the solar panels on NASA’s InSight lander, preventing further operations and leading to its retirement. But the mission’s data continues to reveal information ...

The thick, mineral-rich layers of clay found on Mars suggest that the Red Planet harbored potentially life-hosting environments for long stretches in the ancient past, a new study suggests. Clays need ...

Unravelling the interior structure of Mars is critical for understanding its geological evolution and current dynamical processes. Mars seismology investigates the generation, propagation and ...

New experiments have shown that the core of Mars formed much faster than Earth's core, thanks to molten iron and nickel sulfides seeping down through solid rock and into the center of the Red Planet.
