Nobel Prize-winner Professor Didier Queloz discusses recent findings in exoplanet research. He presents new insights about the origins of life in the light of recent experiments about a possible origin of pre-biotic chemical building blocks, as well as a possible long-range pathway for detecting Earth-like systems amenable for remote study of life.
