De Russische miljardair Yuri Milner kondigde samen met natuurkundige Stephen Hawking een 100 miljoen dollar kostend plan aan om honderden mini-ruimtevaarttuigjes naar de dichtstbijzijnde ster Alpha Centauri te sturen. De vaartuigjes hebben de grootte van een I-phone met fotonzeilen. Ze worden voortgedreven door de energie van..

Even inactive smokers are densely colonized by microbial communities

<p><strong>Everything is everywhere – under certain conditions microbial communities can grow and thrive, even in places that are seemingly uninhabitable. This is the case at inactive hydrothermal vents on the sea floor. An international team that includes researchers from MARUM – Center for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen, is presently working to accurately quantify how much inorganic carbon can be bound in these environments. </strong></p>

Even inactive #DeepSea 'smokers' are densely colonized by #microbial communities https://phys.org/news/2024-03-inactive-deep-sea-smokers-densely.html

Inactive #hydrothermal vent microbial communities are important contributors to deep #ocean primary productivity: Amanda Achberger et al. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-024-01599-9

"When the flow of mineral-rich fluids dries up, the #BlackSmokers become inactive. Larger organisms migrate away to the next vent, but the #microbes have ways to adapt to the new conditions."

Even inactive deep-sea 'smokers' are densely colonized by microbial communities, study shows

Under certain conditions microbial communities can grow and thrive, even in places that are seemingly uninhabitable. This is the case at inactive hydrothermal vents on the sea floor. An international team that includes researchers from MARUM—Center for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen, is presently working to accurately quantify how much inorganic carbon can be bound in these environments.
