Beyond normal - Proteins in Alien Environments (Ref: CG-AC-2525)

Updated: 13 May 2026 
What would happen if the liquid enabling life were not water, but a class of molecules with a similar melting range known as 'ionic liquids'? Ionic liquids are, simply, liquids made of ions usually defined as having melting temperatures below 100C, for which there are millions of possible options. Read more
