SwRI scientists repurpose chemistry modeling software to study life-supporting conditions on icy moons

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Nov 19, 2024

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is transforming software traditionally used for electrolyte modeling and corrosion prediction into an advanced tool for assessing whether ice-covered worlds could support microbial life. This effort is part of NASA's Habitable Worlds program, which leverages Earth's history to better understand the processes and conditions that foster habitability. Typic
