A study reveals that JWST can detect methyl halides in Hycean planet atmospheres, indicating potential biosignatures and ...

Scientists are rethinking how to detect alien life by focusing on planets vastly different from Earth. Instead of searching ...

Scientists discovered that methyl halides, a gas produced by microbes, could be a biosignature for life on distant planets.

HUNTING for aliens is now a little easier as scientists discover a new sign that gives away life on far-off planets.

“Unlike an Earth-like planet, where atmospheric noise and telescope limitations make it difficult to detect biosignatures, ...

A UC Riverside study argues that if a certain group of methyl gases is found in exoplanet atmospheres it could be a ...

Scientists have identified a promising new way to detect life on faraway planets, hinging on worlds that look nothing like ...

Now, a group of researchers is proposing a novel approach using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a collaboration ...

Scientists have discovered that alien existence could be hiding in gases on distant planets. New research suggests ...

But other worlds, known as Hycean planets, could be possible places to search. “Unlike an Earth-like planet, where atmospheric noise and telescope limitations make it difficult to detect ...

Instead, JWST would have to aim for larger exoplanets orbiting small red stars, with deep global oceans and thick hydrogen atmospheres called Hycean planets. Humans could not breathe or survive on ...
