A team of Israeli and American scientists has developed a new technique that may help identify signs of life beyond Earth by analyzing patterns in molecular diversity rather than searching for specific biological molecules, AzerNEWS reports.

This new scientific technique offers a novel way to search for extraterrestrial life, potentially enhancing future space missions to Mars, asteroids, and icy moons by providing a more robust method for distinguishing biological from non-biological material.
