Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jul 22, 2025

Recent research led by Vincent Chevrier of the University of Arkansas offers new evidence that brines-salt-rich liquid water-could form on the Martian surface under specific seasonal conditions. Drawing on decades of research, Chevrier used atmospheric data from NASA’s Viking 2 lander alongside advanced computer simulations to demonstrate that seasonal frost could briefly melt, creating small qu
