This amoeba has broken the previous record for heat tolerance among complex life forms. The discovery resulted from NASA-funded research aimed at understanding the limits of biological survival in extreme temperatures. By surviving heat levels previously thought impossible for complex organisms, the fire amoeba expands the known boundaries of where life can exist.Why it mattersThe study explores the maximum temperature thresholds for complex life. Understanding these limits helps scien
