Scientists from Finland and France and have come up with new form of synchrotron X-ray technique that helps in the visualization of hidden building blocks of life.
"Now I would love to try this on Martian or moon rocks. Our new technique can see not only which elements are present in any inclusions but also what kind of molecule or crystal they belong to. If the inclusion contains oxygen, we can tell whether the oxygen belongs to a water molecule. If it contains carbon, we can tell whether it is graphite, diamond-like, or some other carbon form, said Simo Huotari from the University of Helsinki.
The results have been published in Nature Materials as an advance online publication.
