Can the "fire amoeba" reproduce at 63°C?
Yes. Researchers observed cell division at 63°C. Recovery after brief exposure to 70°C is a separate result and does not demonstrate reproduction at that temperature.

No. Several stainless steel families are strongly attracted to magnets. Other grades respond weakly, and manufacturing can change their magnetic behaviour.

No. Bats have functional eyes and can see. Their visual abilities vary between species, so limited detail vision should not be confused with blindness.

Yes. Researchers say the insect had been misidentified for decades. Recognising it as a new species does not mean it had never been observed before.

No. Diamonds resist scratching extremely well, but a hard impact can chip or fracture them. Hardness and resistance to breaking are different properties.

No. Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. Polaris is useful for finding north because of its position near the north celestial pole.

Yes. Research describes a central disk rotating perpendicular to the main disk. A September 2026 Hubble image highlights a structure known before this release.

Yes. Solar panels can use diffuse daylight when clouds block direct sunshine. Their output generally falls as less sunlight reaches the cells.
