Life, But Not As We Know It
A new study by Sara Walker et al. proposes using Assembly Theory to detect extraterrestrial life by quantifying how difficult molecules are to assemble. Instead of searching for Earth‑like biosignature gases, the approach assigns an Assembly Index to atmospheric compounds, with high‑complexity molecules signaling directed selection. Comparisons show Earth’s atmosphere has the highest molecular complexity among solar‑system bodies and modeled exoplanets. The method is designed for NASA’s upcoming Habitable Worlds Observatory, delivering a continuous complexity score from infrared spectra.
