Discovery of the element #radium was announced on #ThisDayInHistory by #MarieSkłodowskaCurie and her husband #PierreCurie in 1898. Having removed #uranium from a mineral sample, they first discovered #polonium in July, then radium. These finds earned #MarieCurie a Nobel Prize.
Iran and the United States are cautiously reengaging in diplomacy to discuss Iran’s desires to enrich uranium for nuclear energy. But both countries have sticking points. Read more from @AssociatedPress

#RadiationEating #Fungi: Nature’s Survival Tactic
By Staff EditorMay 31, 2025
"The #Chernobyl exclusion zone, one of the most radioactive places on Earth, harbors an extraordinary secret. While most life forms struggle to survive in this contaminated landscape, certain fungi are not just surviving – they’re thriving. These remarkable organisms have mastered a survival strategy that sounds like science fiction: they eat radiation.
"The discovery began in 1991 when researchers sent robots into the ruins of Chernobyl’s reactor number four. To their amazement, the robots found thick black fungal growths covering the walls closest to the radiation source. These weren’t random survivors clinging to life; they were flourishing in conditions that would be lethal to almost any other organism on the planet.
"What makes these fungi so remarkable isn’t just their resistance to radiation – it’s their ability to harness it as an energy source, much like plants use sunlight for photosynthesis. This process, called #radiosynthesis, represents one of the most fascinating adaptations in the natural world.
The Science Behind Radiation-Eating Fungi
"The key to these fungi’s superpowers lies in #melanin, the same pigment that gives color to human skin and hair. However, fungal melanin operates differently than the melanin we’re familiar with. While our melanin primarily serves as protection against UV radiation, fungal melanin has evolved into something far more sophisticated.
"When radiation hits melanin-rich fungi, the pigment molecules absorb the energy and undergo a process that generates #electrons. These electrons then power the fungi’s cellular processes, essentially converting deadly radiation into usable energy. Scientists believe this works through a mechanism similar to #photosynthesis, but instead of capturing light energy, these fungi capture the energy from gamma rays and other forms of ionizing radiation.
"Three species have gained particular attention for their #radiotropic abilities: #CladosporiumSphaerospermum, #CryptococcusNeoformans, and #WangiellaDermatitidis. These fungi don’t just tolerate radiation; they actually grow faster when exposed to it. Laboratory experiments have shown that radiation-exposed samples of these species grow approximately three times faster than those in radiation-free environments.
Life in Extreme Environments
"The fungi of Chernobyl aren’t unique in their love for extreme conditions. Throughout Earth’s history, fungi have proven themselves to be nature’s ultimate survivors, colonizing environments where few other life forms dare to venture.
"High above our heads, fungi have been discovered on the International Space Station, hitching rides on equipment and somehow surviving the vacuum of space. Deep beneath the ocean floor, fungal communities thrive in sediments that haven’t seen sunlight for millions of years. In the frozen wastes of Antarctica, fungi live inside rocks, extracting minerals and moisture from seemingly barren stone.
"Perhaps most remarkably, fungi have been found living inside nuclear reactors around the world, not just at Chernobyl. The #HanfordSite in Washington State, the #Sellafield facility in England, and other nuclear installations all host their own communities of radiation-eating fungi. These discoveries suggest that radiosynthesis might be more common than initially thought.
Ancient Origins and Evolutionary Advantages
"The ability to harness radiation for energy likely evolved hundreds of millions of years ago, long before humans split their first atom. Early Earth was a much more radioactive place than today, bombarded by cosmic rays and containing higher levels of naturally occurring radioactive elements.
"Scientists theorize that melanin-based radiosynthesis might have been one of the earliest forms of energy capture on our planet, possibly predating photosynthesis. This would make radiation-eating fungi not just evolutionary marvels, but potential glimpses into life’s ancient past.
"The evolutionary advantages of this ability become clear when we consider the environments these fungi inhabit. In places where organic matter is scarce and other energy sources are limited, the ability to harvest energy from radiation provides a significant competitive edge. These fungi can establish themselves in niches where nothing else can survive, essentially having entire ecosystems to themselves.
Modern Applications and Future Possibilities
"The discovery of #radiosynthetic fungi has captured the imagination of researchers across multiple fields, from astrobiology to environmental remediation. NASA has shown particular interest in these organisms, recognizing their potential for long-term space missions where traditional food sources would be impractical.
"Imagine spacecraft equipped with #FungalBioreactors that could convert the abundant cosmic radiation of deep space into food and oxygen for astronauts. Such systems could make long-duration missions to Mars or beyond far more feasible. Some researchers have even suggested that similar fungi might already exist on other planets, potentially representing our first encounter with extraterrestrial life.
"Closer to home, these fungi offer promising solutions for environmental cleanup. Traditional methods of dealing with radioactive contamination are expensive and often only move the problem from one location to another. Fungi that can actually consume radiation could potentially detoxify contaminated areas while producing useful byproducts.
Beyond Chernobyl
"While Chernobyl remains the most famous example of fungi thriving in radioactive environments, similar discoveries continue to emerge worldwide. The #Fukushima nuclear disaster site in Japan has revealed its own communities of radiation-resistant fungi. Natural #uranium deposits in #Africa host fungal ecosystems that have been consuming radiation for thousands of years.
"These findings are reshaping our understanding of what constitutes a habitable environment. Life, it seems, is far more adaptable and resourceful than we ever imagined. The existence of radiation-eating fungi forces us to reconsider the limits of biology and the possibilities for life in the universe.
What This Means for Us
"The study of radiosynthetic fungi offers more than just scientific curiosity; it provides practical insights into survival and adaptation. These organisms demonstrate principles of resilience and resourcefulness that could inform everything from biotechnology to sustainable energy development.
"Understanding how fungi convert radiation into usable energy might lead to new forms of biological solar panels or radiation detectors. The robust nature of these organisms could make them ideal candidates for biomining operations or environmental monitoring in hazardous locations.
"The next time you encounter mushrooms growing in unexpected places, remember the remarkable fungi of Chernobyl. While the specimens in your local forest aren’t likely eating radiation, they’re still performing countless invisible miracles, breaking down organic matter, forming partnerships with plant roots, and maintaining the delicate balance that keeps our ecosystems functioning. In their quiet, persistent way, all fungi are engaged in the extraordinary business of turning the impossible into the everyday."

In Niger, the military government announced Sunday that it will place uranium produced by Somair on the international market, escalating its standoff with French company Orano, which owned Somair until it was nationalised in June. The site holds an estimated 1,300 tons of uranium concentrate, worth around €250 million.
