Scientists have developed an AI-based method that can detect signs of life on other planets with 90% accuracy. By analyzing molecular patterns, the method distinguishes between biological and abiotic samples, revolutionizing space exploration and our understanding of life's origins. The technique has potential applications in various fields, including biology, archaeology, and paleontology. It could also help determine the origins of ancient rocks on Earth and analyze samples collected by the Mars Curiosity rover. The method opens up possibilities for detecting alien biochemistries and distinguishing different types of life forms.

Scientists have discovered a new species of deepwater catshark, Apristurus ovicorrugatus, from northwestern Australia, identified by unique egg cases found in an Australian museum in 2011. The egg cases have strong T-shaped ridges, and the shark has bright white eyes, which are unusual among deep-water organisms. Researchers used molecular analysis to identify the species and named it after the corrugated egg cases that led them to the discovery.
