Life can thrive in a 100% hydrogen atmosphere, according to a new study. The finding might well change our understanding of how life might exist in the universe. For the study, a team of MIT researchers recently conducted experiments with the bacteria Escherichia coli and yeast. They put these species in a 100% hydrogen atmosphere and the microbes survived, showing how life can live in such an extreme atmosphere.
