Understanding how air moves across a planet is key to predicting its weather and climate. On Earth, these patterns shape ...

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 ...

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

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

A recent study of data from multiple missions shows the Red Planet may get its name from an iron mineral that formed when ...

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.

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.

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

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.” ...
