Perseverance rover was exploring the winds on a Martian crater when this sound got recorded in its SuperCam microphone.

Before humans ever set foot on Mars, fleets of autonomous robots will be doing the heavy lifting — from building habitats to ...

A robot chemist powered by artificial intelligence could solve the puzzle of providing oxygen to humans on Mars, according to the results of a new study. The study, published in Nature Synthesis, ...

As we push toward the next phase of human space exploration, there’s a lot of focus on using local materials at our final destination. Anything we can find or make on the Moon, Mars, or elsewhere is ...

Scientists have developed a new robotic artificial intelligence (AI) “chemist” that could use materials found on Mars to make the Red Planet more habitable. Researchers demonstrated that they could ...

Move over, Mars rover — a new reptilian robot may one day crawl the Red Planet’s barren surface instead, all in the name of exploration. Researchers at China’s Nanjing University of Aeronautics and ...

One of the most significant obstacles to human interstellar travel is our inability to breathe in the deep recesses of space. Oxygen is essential to life and isn't available in the same capacity as on ...

NASA’s Mars robots receive their commands from the mission team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, but for the next few weeks, communications will fall silent. This is due to ...
