Scientists Revisit Sulfuric Acid as a Possible Habitat for Alien Life
A new wave of astrobiology research is challenging the long-held assumption that liquid water is the only viable solvent for life. Drawing on the chemistry of Venus-like environments, scientists are examining whether sulfuric acid, long considered hostile, could under rare conditions support unfamiliar forms of biology. The debate is reshaping how researchers think about habitability in the search for life beyond Earth.
