Parts of tropical rainforests could get too hot for photosynthesis, study suggests
Some leaves in tropical forests from South America to South East Asia are getting so hot they may no longer be able to photosynthesize, with big potential consequences for the world’s forests, according to a new study.
Leaves’ ability to photosynthesize – the process by which they make energy from carbon dioxide, sunlight and water – begins to fail when their temperature reaches around 46.7 degrees Celsius (116 Fahrenheit).
While this may seem high, leaves can get much hotter than the air temperature, according to the report published Wednesday in Nature by a group of scientists from countries including the US, Australia and Brazil.
- the singularity is happening.. no more photosynthesis in the jungle ...huzzah huzzah we gonna do it....neverscared
- good, we're the shitties species that's ever existed, the sooner we go extinct the better for the planet._niko

- I had a series of incredibly vivid dreams last night, with a general apocalyptic theme going on, starting with nukes going off over the mediterranean. Fun!Nairn
- I also looked into buying a clearly midjourney-generated pseudo-abandoned church, before ginormous alien monsters started coming in. Fun!Nairn
- Haha. Madness! Too much cheese before bed again?Ianbolton
- That's the thing - I went to bed early and Was Good. For once. You ever have dreams that are so Full-On that your brain is noticeably tired when you awaken?Nairn
- Haha, I guess so. Less so recently as I've been stoned more than usual. I've had dreams so intense they wake me up, but so intriguing I want to go back to themIanbolton
- Nairn, looking at QBN to watch trolls troll is all fun, but now you are letting QBN squat for free in your dreams now. Be careful.toemaas

On the one hand, this is heartwarming and promising. On the other, this is barely a drop in an ocean of shit that goes on everywhere, all the time.

Extremely high-energy particle detected falling to Earth
Amaterasu particle, one of highest-energy cosmic rays ever detected, is coming from an apparently empty region of spaceAstronomers have detected a rare and extremely high-energy particle falling to Earth that is causing bafflement because it is coming from an apparently empty region of space.
The particle, named Amaterasu after the sun goddess in Japanese mythology, is one of the highest-energy cosmic rays ever detected.
Only the most powerful cosmic events, on scales far exceeding the explosion of a star, are thought to be capable of producing such energetic particles. But Amaterasu appears to have emerged from the Local Void, an empty area of space bordering the Milky Way galaxy.
“You trace its trajectory to its source and there’s nothing high energy enough to have produced it,” said Prof John Matthews, of the University of Utah and a co-author of the paper in the journal Science that describes the discovery. “That’s the mystery of this – what the heck is going on?
