Stunned new alien life exploration tool

Add a new exploration tool recently announced by NASA.

Although there is no concrete evidence of alien life, that does not mean there is no.

Recently, NASA has developed a new spectroscopic device that can detect bioactive compounds and minerals faster and with higher sensitivity than previous instruments.

This is one of the most advanced Raman spectrometer ever developed.(Image source: Zeenews).

This new system is described in detail in Applied Optics magazine, called the Raman micro spectrometer.

This technique uses the interaction between laser light and a sample to provide chemical composition information on a micro scale.

It can detect organic compounds such as amino acids found in organisms and identify minerals formed by the biochemical processes above and beyond Earth, which can find life on other planets. , according to the study.

"Our tool is one of the most advanced Raman spectrometer ever developed," said M Nurul Abedin of NASA Langley Research Center, who led the research team.

Abedin said: "It overcomes some of the limitations mainly from traditional micro-Raman instruments and is designed to serve as an ideal tool for future tasks such as discovery as well as onions. other ".
