A rock on Mars spilled a surprising yellow treasure after Curiosity accidentally cracked through its unremarkable exterior. When the rover rolled its 899-kilogram (1,982-pound) body over the fragile ...

A new gold extraction method turns old electronics into treasure using pool disinfectant and sunlight — no poisons required.

At Flinders University, scientists have cracked a cleaner and greener way to extract gold—not just from ore, but also from our mounting piles of e-waste. By using a compound normally found in pool ...

In this work, we demonstrate how to efficiently compute the one- and two-body reduced density matrices within the spin-adapted full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC) method, which ...

Finding pure sulfur, though, points to specialized conditions that could expand possible scenarios for past microbial life on the Red Planet. Sulfur compounds also reveal information about Mars’s ...

There are, to be fair, a lot of things we don't know about the geological history of Mars, but the discovery of scads of pure sulfur just hanging about on the Martian surface suggests that there's ...

Speaking with MSNBC, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz discussed the "pure hell" it has been since he and Democratic running mate Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election.

In July, GNN reported how the rover had found a strange white stone, broke it open, and found sulfur crystals, shocking the rover’s science team back at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

The field was where the rover made the first discovery of pure sulfur on Mars. Scientists are still unsure exactly why theses rocks formed here. NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS ...
