Computer says no to membrane-bound life on Titan
Scientists quash inside–out cell membrane theory but don’t completely rule out possibility of life on cryogenic liquid hydrocarbon worlds
A new study has found that azotosomes, a form of cell membrane that could bolster otherworldly life, are unlikely to be able to form on Titan. The findings follow up on a 2015 study that first proposed the membranes and described their kinetic stability.
