A new study led by the University of Colorado Boulder has shown that gases often seen as indicators of life on distant planets may not be as reliable as previously thought. Researchers managed to recreate dimethyl sulfide - a molecule traditionally associated with biological activity - in a lab without the involvement of living organisms.
