  "textContent": "A new scientific investigation suggests that known non-biological processes may not be enough to explain the amount of organic material discovered in a Martian rock sample collected by NASA’s Curiosity rover. Organic compounds are molecules built around carbon atoms. On Earth, carbon-based chemistry forms the foundation of life, although some organic molecules can also arise [...]",
