Photo by Solen Feyissa on Unsplash As of September 2025, approximately 170 million Americans spend, on average, one hour every day in an app that is designed to maximize psychological grip.

Has Perseverance found a biosignature on Mars?

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-08 23:00:44

The rock contained chemical signatures and structures that could have been formed by ancient microbial life. Granted, this was not slam-dunk evidence of past life on Mars, and the results were preliminary, awaiting peer review. But it was an intriguing possibility nonetheless. Now further analysis and peer review are complete, and there is a new paper, published in the journal Nature
