Efforts to Detect Alien Life Advanced by Simple Microbe Mobility Test
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Feb 06, 2025
The search for extraterrestrial life remains one of humanity's most ambitious scientific pursuits. A promising approach to identifying life is through detecting motile microorganisms, which demonstrate independent movement-a strong indicator of biological activity. When such movement is triggered by a chemical stimulus, it is termed chemotaxis. A team of German researchers has now develope
