Description
I will present the current efforts to perfect various observational techniques to be able to detect and study Earth-like exoplanets. In particular, I will describe the ongoing attempts to reach the 1 cm/s precision in radial velocity measurements in Geneva and Berkeley and the race for getting spectra from the planetary atmospheres.
