The molecule identified on K2-18b, an exoplanet 124 light years away, may or may not turn out to be a biosignature. But even having such signals to investigate is an amazing advance, and Nikku Madhusudhan’s appearance to present his findings was one of the highlights of this

Was Earth's water delivered by asteroids, as many models assume? Or were its elements there from the beginning? Oxford University analysis of meteorite LAR 12252 revealed high hydrogen sulfide levels, suggesting that Earth's building blocks contained substantial hydrogen.

If confirmed, this would be a remarkable discovery: neurons could transmit information through light in addition to electrical signals. University of Rochester scientists are using nanophotonic probes to detect potential ultra-weak photon emissions that could reveal entirely new
