This Microbe Breaks All the Rules

Scientists just found a wild new organism that’s basically the lovechild of a virus and a cell. Meet Sukunaarchaeum mirabile: it hijacks its host like a virus but still has the tools to make its own proteins. Its genome is so tiny, it’s breaking records—and it’s got experts rethinking what even counts as ‘life.’ Could there be more weird life forms out there? This discovery is seriously blurring the lines! #Science #ScienceNews #WeirdBiology
