Scientists Discover "Fire Amoeba" Defying Life's Heat Limit
Original: Scientists Discover a “Fire Amoeba” That Defies Life’s Heat Limit
Scientists report the discovery of a so-called "fire amoeba", an organism said to survive at temperatures beyond what was thought to be life's upper limit. If confirmed, the find would force a rethink of the thermal boundaries of life on Earth, with implications for the search for life in extreme environments such as deep-sea vents and possibly other planets.
Why now: The claim challenges a long-held scientific assumption about the maximum temperature at which life can exist.
