A black fungus feeds on radiation in Chernobyl. In the radioactive ruins of Chernobyl’s Reactor 4, scientists found an extraordinary black fungus, Cladosporium sphaerospermum, thriving in one of Earth’s most toxic environments. Rather than merely enduring radiation, this fungus seems to harness it through radiosynthesis—a process akin to photosynthesis but driven by gamma radiation, converting it into chemical energy. It’s among the rare organisms capable of this feat. Even more remarkable, when tested on the International Space Station, the fungus flourished, forming a biofilm that blocked up to 84% of cosmic radiation, hinting at its potential as a living radiation shield for astronauts. With radiation posing a major hurdle for deep-space missions to Mars and beyond, this self-regenerating biological layer could revolutionize spacecraft design by replacing heavy, bulky shielding. On Earth, researchers are exploring its use in bioremediation to detoxify radioactive sites too hazardous for humans, potentially transforming nuclear disaster recovery. As one scientist put it, “It’s like nature crafted a biological radiation shield.” From Chernobyl’s ruins to space, this humble fungus could help humanity thrive in the universe’s harshest environments.

@SkySportsNews These are having a laugh

@EPLBible The fool will play with 3 at the back. No mater the players or state of the game

Name ONE thing that will happen in today’s Manchester Derby. 👇

@PurelyFootball You reckon this guy has completely turned his life around or still a massive prick? Watch it every time

@CrimeLdn Horrific

Two police officers have gone on trial after they used pepper spray and a Taser on a 92-year-old care home resident who had one leg. The officers were responding to a call from the care home in St-Leonards

@ALS_Fanzine Bring him home

Would you bring Pierre Ekwah back into the #SAFC squad at all? 🤔 🇫🇷

@RealEmirHan Shagger

Sean Penn, 64, alongside his model girlfriend, Valeria Nicov, 30, in Paris.

@ThomasClay3 If any of those players made a mistake to cost the game. Neville and his mates who have slated him - you can’t have it both ways

Love him or hate him, this is the truest 2 minutes you’ll hear all season Firstly about football becoming full & robotic trying to play and immitate how pep’s teams play And the final 40 odd seconds about how many United players aren’t good enough

@StadiumOfLight Regis le bridge is the only correct answer

Residents of Sunderland are being invited to have their say on the name of the City’s new footbridge. Full details ⤵️

@itvfootball Of course

Fulham boss Marco Silva felt Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton should have received a second yellow for this Do you agree?

@piersmorgan Why would he do that to someone in the street? Haha. He’s going for the ball and misjudges it. Are you suggesting he should be locked up?

Worst ‘tackle’ I’ve ever seen in football. Absolutely shameful assault on Jean-Philippe Mateta by Millwall’s goalkeeper Liam Roberts. He was sent off, but if he did that to someone in the street he’d be jailed.

@fuadyabz23 He lost the ball 18 times? wtf

what do you even call this

@ChrisHammer180 Hahah what a dick

Joe Cullen going all Ronnie O'Sullivan with that interview. Clearly not happy about being "written off" but at least it gave him motivation.
