Researchers recreated Martian conditions in a laboratory using E. coli bacteria and pure water ice. The samples were frozen ...

Researchers simulated Martian permafrost and ice cap conditions in a laboratory, exposing *Escherichia coli* samples in pure water ice and water-sediment mixtures to cosmic radiation equivalent to 50 ...

A NASA study shows bacteria fragments can survive 50 million years in Martian ice. Pure ice, not rock, could hold clues to ...

Mars has two permanent polar ice caps of water ice and some dry ice, and a few patches of ice both on and under the surface.

What can craters on Mars teach scientists about the Red Planet’s climate history? This is what a recent study published in Geology hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated ice buildup ...

A recent study suggests that chemical traces of ancient microbial life may still be preserved beneath Mars' icy surface.

Frozen in time, ancient microbes or their remains could be found in Martian ice deposits during future missions to the red planet. By recreating Mars-like conditions in the lab, a team of researchers ...

A new study looked into how biomolecules trapped in pure ice were capable of withstanding the harsh radiation of Mars for ...
