US EditionNew Test May Simplify Search for Life on Mars
- Researchers have developed a test that looks for movement in microbes as a sign of life, which could be useful for finding life on Mars.
- The test uses L-Serine to induce movement in bacteria and archaea, indicating potential life.
- The study, published in Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, suggests this method could make searching for life cheaper and faster.
- More research is needed to adapt the equipment for space, as it must be smaller and more robust for extreme conditions.
