"Potential for Life in Venus' Sulfuric Acid Clouds Revealed by Surprising Amino Acid Stability"

Recent studies suggest that complex organic chemistry could thrive in sulfuric acid, challenging the assumption that water-rich environments are necessary for life. Research has shown that nucleic acid bases and amino acids can remain stable in concentrated sulfuric acid, similar to the conditions found in the Venusian clouds. While the study was conducted in a laboratory setting and not in the actual Venusian environment, upcoming missions to Venus may provide valuable data to further explore the potential for organic chemistry and possibly extraterrestrial life in such conditions.
