<ul><li>A team of researchers suggest that liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) could have formed minerals on Mars, in addition to water.</li><li>Observations of minerals on the Martian surface suggest the presence of liquid water, but the researchers propose that liquid CO2 could have played a role.</li><li>They explain that carbon sequestration processes, which liquefy CO2 on Earth and bury it underground, could have caused liquid CO2 to form and alter mineral composition on Mars.</li><li>Further testing under more realistic Martian conditions is needed to confirm these findings.</li></ul>
