Findings reinforce evidence of long-preserved organic chemistry on Mars.

A Texas A&M geologist says recent findings from the Perseverance rover may point to the presence of past microbial life on ancient Mars.

The proof may be in the pudding, but according to a Texas A&M University geologist, when it comes to ancient life on the Red Planet, the proof is in the rocks.

Texas A&M is one of six universities collaborating with NASA to teach dog-like robots to navigate on challenging surfaces to better prepare for planetary exploration.
