Okay, this is wild: scientists found a black fungus thriving inside Chernobyl’s radioactive ruins, and it might actually be using radiation as food. This fungus, Cladosporium sphaerospermum, has so much melanin it could be turning deadly radiation into energy, kind of like how plants use sunlight. No one’s totally sure how it works, but it’s surviving (and maybe even thriving) where humans can’t. Life really does find a way, huh? #Science #Chernobyl #ScienceNews
