Antarctic fungi survive Martian conditions on the International Space Station
Section of rock colonised by cryptoendolithic microorganisms and the Cryomyces fungi in quartz crystals under an electron microscope.
European scientists have gathered tiny fungi that take shelter in Antarctic rocks and sent them to the International Space Station. After 18 months on board in conditions similar to those on Mars, more than 60% of their cells remained intact, with stable DNA. The results provide new information for the search for life on the red planet. Lichens from the Sierra de Gredos (Spain) and the Alps (Austria) also travelled into space for the same experiment.

Mud
Truly curios about the mysteries of intelligence and life? Forget about AI for a minute and research nature's dirty little secret: Mud. A bustling hub for trillions of versatile microbes, mud plays a crucial role in all planetary ecosystems. For millennia, mud has been a cornerstone in medicine and beauty treatments. Its benefits are backed by science yet we barely understands it.
