However, as none of these \u2018super-Earths\u2019 or \u2018mini-Neptunes\u2019 are present in our solar system, scientists face challenges when determining whether their atmospheres contain potential signs of living beings, such as ammonia.<\/p>\n<p>Philips has determined that when the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jwst.nasa.gov\/\">James Webb Space Telescope<\/a> (JWST) launches this October, it could plausibly identify ammonia around six gas dwarf planets after just a few orbits.<\/p>\n<p>She and her team modelled how JWST\u00a0instruments would react to various clouds and atmospheric conditions, then created a ranked list of where the telescope should search for life.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Humankind has contemplated the questions, &#8216;Are we alone? What is life? Is life elsewhere similar to us?'&#8221; said Phillips. &#8220;My research suggests that for the first time, we have the scientific knowledge and technological capabilities to realistically begin to find the answers to these questions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The American Physical Society is a non-profit membership organisation working to advance and diffuse the knowledge of physics through its outstanding research journals, scientific meetings, and education, outreach, advocacy, and international activities. APS represents over 55,000 members, including physicists in academia, national laboratories, and industry in the United States and throughout the
