Detecting life on Mars and the life marker chip : antibody assays for detecting organic molecules in liquid extracts of Martian samples [PDF]
, 2012 The Life Marker Chip instrument, which has been selected to fly as part of the 2018 ExoMars rover mission payload, aims to detect up to 25 organic molecules in martian rocks and regolith, as markers of extant life, extinct life, meteoritic in-fall and ...

Oxygen Isotopes and Volatiles in Martian Meteorite [PDF]
, 2013 Oxygen isotopes were measured in mineral separates from martian meteorites using laser fluorination and were found to be remarkably uniform in both δ18O and Δ17O, suggesting that martian magmas did not assimilate aqueously altered crust regardless of any

Martian‑Regolith Simulant Confined Nanogenerators for Wireless Tactile Sensing for Human-Machine Interface. [PDF]
SmallA Martian regolith‐simulant/PDMS triboelectric nanogenerator is developed as an ISRU‐inspired, self‐powered tactile sensor for wireless human–machine interface applications. ABSTRACT Achieving a sustainable energy system for space missions remains challenging due to the continued reliance on Earth‐supplied materials.

Icelandic analogs to Martian flood lavas [PDF]
, 2004 We report on new field observations from Icelandic lava flows that have the same surface morphology as many Martian flood lava flows. The Martian flood lavas are characterized by a platy-ridged surface morphology whose formation is not well understood ...

Dark aeolian sediments in Martian craters: Composition and sources [PDF]
, 2011 Our research focuses on the mineralogical characteristics of dark sediment deposits in Martian craters (dunes, dune fields, and sand sheets) and their local sediment sources, carried out on the basis of 70 selected localities.

Shear-Induced ringwoodite formation in the Martian shergottite Dar al Gani 670 [PDF]
, 2013 Shock-produced melt veins in the Martian shergottite Dar al Gani 670 crosscut large olivine crystals. The upper part of one of these crystals appears to be sheared off and displaced along the shock vein.

Extraction of polar and nonpolar biomarkers from the martian soil using aqueous surfactant solutions [PDF]
, 2012 The Life Marker Chip intends to use an aqueous surfactant solution to extract both polar AND nonpolar biomarkers from the martian soil for transport to an antibody-based detection system. Currently, a solution of 1.5 g l-1 polysorbate 80 in 20:80 (vol:
