Astrobiology - an opposing view [PDF]
Bioinformation, 2018 The use of quantum computers and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is imperative for use in space exploration and astrobiology investigations. Considerable progress has been made since the commencement of origin of life laboratory and theoretical studies in the mid 20th century.

Physiological Differentiation within a Single-Species Biofilm Fueled by Serpentinization
mBio, 2011 Carbonate chimneys at the Lost City hydrothermal field are coated in biofilms dominated by a single phylotype of archaea known as Lost City Methanosarcinales. In this study, we have detected surprising physiological complexity in single-species biofilms,

Philosophical Aspects of Astrobiology Revisited
Philosophies, 2021 Given the idea that Life as we know it is nothing but a special form of a generically underlying dynamical structure within the physical Universe, we try to introduce a concept of Life that is not only derived from first principles of fundamental physics,

Is the Pale Blue Dot unique? Optimized photometric bands for identifying Earth-like exoplanets
, 2016 The next generation of ground and space-based telescopes will image habitable planets around nearby stars. A growing literature describes how to characterize such planets with spectroscopy, but less consideration has been given to the usefulness of ...

A Stochastic Process Approach of the Drake Equation Parameters
, 2011 The number N of detectable (i.e. communicating) extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy is usually done by using the Drake equation. This equation was established in 1961 by Frank Drake and was the first step to quantifying the SETI field.

, 2021 Astrobiology seeks to understand the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe and thus to integrate biology with planetary science, astronomy, cosmology, and the other physical sciences. The discipline emerged in the late 20th century, partly in response to the development of space exploration programs in the United States ...

Astrobiological Effects of F, G, K and M Main-Sequence Stars
, 2008 We focus on the astrobiological effects of photospheric radiation produced by main-sequence stars of spectral types F, G, K, and M. The photospheric radiation is represented by using realistic spectra, taking into account millions or hundred of millions ...

PAHs and the Universe, 2020 In dense molecular clouds, the birthplace of stars and planets, interstellar atoms and molecules freeze onto extremely cold dust and ice particles. These ices are processed by ultraviolet light and cosmic rays forming hundreds of far more complex species,

Viability and Motility of Escherichia coli Under Elevated Martian Salt Stresses
LifeThis study investigates the effects of three Martian-relevant salts—sodium chlorate, sodium perchlorate, and sodium chloride—on the viability and motility of Escherichia coli, a model organism for understanding microbial responses to environmental stress.
