New Research In Blacklit Caves Proves How Life Could Be Possible On Europa, Jupiter’s Icy Moon

Tricorder Tech: New Technique Expands Tissues So Hundreds Of Biomolecules Can Be Seen Inside Cells - Astrobiology

Editor’s note: as we send increasingly sophisticated astrobiology probes – to more places – often at much greater distances – they will need to be able to do more and more analysis in situ i.e. onsite – without direct human assistance. When we eventually send human crews that will become even more important since the […] The post Tricorder Tech: New Technique Expands Tissues So Hundreds Of Biomolecules Can Be Seen Inside Cells appeared first on …

New Research In Blacklit Caves Proves How Life Could Be Possible On Europa, Jupiter’s Icy Moon

NASA/JPL-Caltech When it comes to understanding life in space, you’d think that an astrobiologist’s workload would be focused in, well, space. But incredibly, some of the most important clues as to how life could potentially exist in space, can actually be found right here on Earth. And in some of the most beautiful and fascinating photographs, a team of astrobiologists from the University of Northern Iowa have proven how beneficial work on our …

How can life be detected on other planets? A clue that researchers could search for on planets in our solar system is movement - and that is from microorganisms. Because the migrating nature of the microbes is considered a biosignature and can be used as evidence for life. In order to capture the movement of microbes, the TU Berlin has developed a new method. They have published their results in the journal Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Scien…
