NASA-Funded Research Finds Complex Life Defying Record Heat

NASA-supported scientists discovered complex organisms living at extreme temperatures in California’s Lassen Volcanic National Park. These life forms thrive in heat previously thought impossible for cells containing a nucleus. The research challenges existing scientific understanding regarding the thermal limits of biological cell components.
NASA-supported scientists have discovered an organism that lives at extreme temperatures previously thought impossible for complex life. High temperatures can cause the destruction of necessary cell components, which is a big problem for cells with complex parts like a nucleus encasing delicate genetic information. In the heated waters of California’s Lassen Volcanic National Park, a […]
