#Chernobyl #Fungus Seems to Have #Evolved an Incredible Ability Clinging to walls of one of most #radioactive buildings on Earth, scientists have found a strange black fungus curiously living its best life. Fungus called Cladosporium sphaerospermum, and scientists think its dark pigment – melanin – may allow it to harness ionizing #radiation through a process similar to the way plants harness light for photosynthesis. Proposed mechanism is referred to as #radiosynthesis. https://www.sciencealert.com/chernobyl-fungus-seems-to-have-evolved-an-incredible-ability

RaiNews: Tv7 - Puntata del 01/05/2026 A Tv7 lo stallo tra Stati Uniti e Iran, tra minacce e diplomazia: con lo Stretto di Hormuz ancora bloccato, le tensioni pesano sull'economia globale e alimentano il rischio di nuove escalation. Le posizioni restano distanti, tra la linea della "massima pressione" sostenuta da Elliott Abrams e quella del dialogo, mentre sullo sfondo si muove la Cina, impegnata in una mediazione silenziosa. Dall'Italia, il racconto di una generazione in difficoltà: secondo l'Ocse, l'80% degli under 30 vive ancora con i genitori. Tra precarietà e caro affitti, le storie di chi prova a conquistare autonomia. A seguire, la tragedia del Monte Faito: a oltre un anno dall'incidente della funivia, con quattro vittime, restano dubbi sulla sicurezza. La testimonianza dell'unico sopravvissuto e un'inchiesta con 26 indagati. Dall'Africa, il caos in Mali, con nuovi attacchi jihadisti che riaccendono l'allarme nel Sahel. E poi Chernobyl, a 40 anni dal disastro nucleare: un viaggio tra città fantasma e natura che si riprende gli spazi. Spazio anche all'Italia che cambia: Milano sempre più meta di grandi patrimoni internazionali, attratti da qualità della vita e vantaggi fiscali. Infine, lo sport e la memoria: Adriano Panatta racconta i 50 anni dalla storica vittoria agli Internazionali d'Italia e il tennis di oggi. E il concertone del Primo Maggio, tra musica e diritti, con lo sguardo alle sfide del lavoro nell'era dell'intelligenza artificiale. Tv7 - Episode of 01/05/2026 On TV7, a standstill between the United States and Iran, between threats and diplomacy: with the Strait of Hormuz still blocked, tensions weigh on the global economy and fuel the risk of new escalations. Positions remain distant, between the line of “maximum pressure” supported by Elliott Abrams and that of dialogue, while China, engaged in a silent mediation, moves in the background. From Italy, the story of a generation in difficulty: according to the OECD, 80% of those under 30 still live with their parents. Amidst precariousness and high rents, the stories of those trying to achieve autonomy. Following this, the tragedy of Mount Faito: a year and a half after the cable car accident, which claimed four lives, doubts remain about safety. The testimony of the sole survivor and an investigation involving 26 suspects. From Africa, chaos in Mali, with new jihadist attacks reigniting the alarm in the Sahel. And then Chernobyl, 40 years after the nuclear disaster: a journey through ghost cities and nature reclaiming its spaces. Space is also given to Italy that is changing: Milan increasingly a destination for large international fortunes, attracted by quality of life and tax advantages. Finally, sport and memory: Adriano Panatta recounts the 50th anniversary of the historic victory at the Italian Championships and today’s tennis. And the May 1st concert, between music and rights, with a look at the challenges of work in the age of artificial intelligence. #theUnitedStates #Hormuz #ElliottAbrams #China #Italy #MountFaito #Africa #jihadist #Chernobyl #Milan #AdrianoPanatta https://www.rainews.it/rubriche/tv7/video/2026/05/Tv7---Puntata-del-01052026-35157f01-05f5-48e1-8303-eaa50565c25a.html

Today: La società che riapre le miniere d'uranio italiane: valgono un miliardo (e sono pronte all'uso) Quarant'anni dopo il disastro di Chernobyl in Italia potrebbero riaprire le miniere di uranio di Novazza, in Lombardia. Il sito, in Alta Valle Seriana, considerato tra i più importanti giacimenti storici di uranio in Italia, è fermo dal 1987, dopo il referendum sul nucleare seguito all'incidente... The company reopening Italian uranium mines: worth a billion (and ready for use) Forty years after the Chernobyl disaster, uranium mines in Novazza, in Lombardy, Italy, could reopen. The site, in the Upper Seriana Valley, considered one of Italy’s most important historical uranium deposits, has been inactive since 1987, following the referendum on nuclear power after the accident… #Italian #Chernobyl #Novazza #Lombardy #Italy https://www.today.it/dossier/economia/miniere-uranio-bergamo-sondrio.html

Ich saß als 7-jähriger vor der Glotze und traute meinen Augen nicht. Meine Eltern waren klar gegen Atomkraft und ich hatte durchaus eine Vorstellung da in was ein Atommeiler ist, wie er grob funktioniert und was die Gefahren sind. #chernobyl

Decades of photographs showing the state of/decline of the areas around the site of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. The cleanup after the reactor meltdown & more recent de-commissioning of the other two reactors will continue into the 2060s. Nuclear power is not the final answer to our energy issues... For more evidence, have a look at the Fukushima cleanup, which is expected to take until the 2050s... https://www.nationalgeographic.com/photography/article/chernobyl-nuclear-disaster-forty-anniversary #NuclearPower #Radiation #Chernobyl #Fukushima

After the 1986 explosion at Chernobyl’s Reactor Four, many presumed the land would be biologically dead for generations. “The pine forests closest to the plant absorbed such intense radiation that their needles turned an orange-red and died, creating what became known as the Red Forest,” author Katie Stacey writes. Today, some truly weird wildlife are getting by, if not thriving. Read more from @sciencefocus@flipboard.com: https://flip.it/O65kzn #Science #Chernobyl #Wildlife #Animals
