A laser-powered mass spectrometer can detect fossilized microbes in minerals similar to those found on Mars .

Scientists recently tested it on Earth by examining gypsum deposits in Algeria .

Fossilized microbial filaments, along with biosignatures, strongly suggest life once thrived in these environments.

If this laser technology can be integrated into future Mars rovers, it could revolutionize the search for extraterrestrial life.
