Professor Nikku Madhusudhan's team detected potential biosignatures, dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and/or dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18b. While cautiously optimistic, Madhusudhan emphasizes further research is needed to confirm whether these molecules are of biological origin. This research, utilizing data from the James Webb Space Telescope, offers promising evidence for potential extraterrestrial life.
