Deinococcus radiodurans is renowned for its extraordinary resistance to ionising radiation and other environmental stresses. This bacterium employs a combination of passive and active mechanisms ...

Analyze why gold (inert, rare, malleable) or platinum (catalytic converters) became currency/industry staples. Debate blockchain’s "energy-hungry" chemistry (Bitcoin mining’s carbon footprint vs.

But the bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans is made of tougher stuff. In liquid culture conditions, it can survive an acute blast of up to 25,000Gy and under chronic gamma radiation exposure (60Gy per ...

A team of researchers has studied Deinococcus radiodurans and revealed for the first time the process of nucleoid remodeling in this bacterium, using advanced fluorescence microscopy techniques.

18. Another species, Deinococcus radiodurans, can survive almost 10,000 times the dose of radiation lethal to humans, making it a prime candidate for the cleanup of nuclear waste. 19. The Midas touch: ...

In the vast tapestry of life on Earth, evolution has crafted some truly remarkable survivors. While humans require specific conditions to thrive, certain creatures have developed extraordinary ...

Some extremophiles, like Deinococcus radiodurans, can survive radiation doses 1,000 times greater than what would kill a human, reassembling their shattered DNA within hours. Others, like the bacteria ...

Look West from Promthep Cape on a clear Phuket night (on the rare nights that might be possible!) and the Milky Way stretches ...

About 3.5 billion years ago, two of the planets that orbited the sun may have had biospheres of similar bulk. One, Earth, evolved in a way that allowed life to flourish and splinter into endless ...
