As climate change continues to accelerate at an alarming pace, innovative and scalable solutions are more critical than ever.

The discovery sheds light on how certain bacteria -- including strains that cause food poisoning and anthrax -- form spores for survival.

Those potential signs of life are a group of chemicals called methyl halides, which on Earth are produced by some bacteria and ocean algae. "Unlike an Earth-like planet, where atmospheric noise ...
