Life Beyond Biosignatures: A New Method In The Search For Life

Harrison Smith and Lana Sinapayen propose a new method for detecting extraterrestrial life by focusing on planetary clusters rather than individual biosignatures.

This agnostic approach aims to enhance exoplanet surveys and identify life through its broader environmental impacts.
