Water once flowed on ancient Mars, says study
The study offers a potential bridge between the "warm and wet" story told by Martian geology and the "cold and icy" past suggested by atmospheric models.

Scientists discover boron on Mars that points towards ancient habitability! - Read
When boron is dissolved in water – becoming borate – it will react with the ribose and stabilize it for long enough to make RNA.

Lakes, snowmelt-fed streams on Mars formed much later than previously thought
NASA says these results provide insight into the climate history of the Red Planet and suggest the surface conditions at this later time may also have been suitable for microbial life.

Comet bombardment may have helped ancient Mars support life
The impacts would have produced regional hydrothermal systems on Mars similar to those in Yellowstone National Park, which today harbour chemically powered microbes, some of which can survive boiling in hot springs or inhabiting water acidic enough to dissolve iron nails, said study co-author Stephen Mojzsis from the University of Colorado at Boulder.
