Scientists propose a way to detect dangerous ā€œmirror lifeā€ before it exists
Scientists have proposed a way to detect ā€œmirror life,ā€ a hypothetical form of life that could pose serious risks to humans, animals, and ecosystems if artificially created. Using special fluorescent molecules and a type of polarized light also used in 3D movie technology, researchers believe they could distinguish ordinary organisms from their mirror-image counterparts.
