Charles S. Cockell "Life at the Limits: Tales of Microbes, Physics and Spaceships"PLTThe discovery of aqueous environments in diverse places across the Universe, including Mars, Enceladus and exoplanets raises the question of whether those environments contain life. I will discuss laboratory experiments to investigate the limits of life in physical and chemical extremes, what that might tell us about the limits and preservation of life elsewhere and I'll also briefly discuss the implications for human exploration. |
