Researchers are using luminescence dating to date samples of the mineral jarosite from Kachchh, Gujarat. Due to its geological similarities, this mineral is considered a good Martian analogue.

Nature is an enigma; an ensemble of complex structures and functions come together to form a variety of mesmerising artefacts, including life. Richard Feynman, the well-known American Nobel Laureate and physicist, famously said—"Nature isn't classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you'd better make it quantum mechanical, and by golly it's a wonderful problem, because it doesn't look so easy".
