Curiosity has previously discovered small organic molecules on Mars, but these recently found compounds are larger and would have require chemistry to reach a more advanced state to be produced. The ...

The molecules, while not a direct sign of life, still signal the existence of complex chemistry on the Red Planet.

The Mars Curiosity rover’s onboard mini-lab has helped confirm the existence of the largest organic molecules ever found on the Red Planet. The trio of long-chain compounds preserved in Martian ...

Chains of up to a dozen carbon atoms have been detected in what appears to have been an ancient lakebed on Mars, contributing to a growing library of compounds that could be a vital clue about the ...

Scientists have announced the discovery of the largest organic molecules ever found on Mars ... laid down by an ancient lake on the Red Planet. While molecules don't exactly prove the existence ...
