Lab notes: alien life on exoplanet, cancer research and 3D-printed ovaries
by Sajid Shaikh from on (#2Q2AG)
Life on an exoplanet is a tantalising prospect - but you may need to hitch a ride on USS Enterprise to reach it. For now, like Einstein, let's travel on a light beam. On it you arrive at the Aquarius constellation and get dazzled by a planet system much like ours. Its sun is named Trappist-1 and around it orbit seven planets. The sixth one is Earth-sized, has flowing water and harbours life. (Not really. But hold on to that thought, as it could.)
