Researchers investigated how bacteria, used to create bricks from Martian soil, react to perchlorate, a chemical found on Mars. While perchlorate slowed bacterial growth, it surprisingly resulted in ...

Dubbed HD 137010 b, the planet might fall just within the outer edges of its star's 'habitable zone', meaning there could be liquid water on its surface and a suitable atmosphere for life.

The research, led by scientists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), has been published in the peer-reviewed journal ...

Bacteria that thrive on Earth may not make it in the alien lands of Mars. A potential deterrent is perchlorate, a toxic chlorine-containing chemical discovered in Martian soil during various space ...
