Description
Today we dive into the groundbreaking detection of torsional Alfvén waves in the Sun's corona that could finally explain why it's millions of degrees hotter than the solar surface. We'll also explore a hidden 5-mile-wide asteroid crater discovered beneath the Atlantic Ocean, quantum sensors that survive crushing pressures thought impossible, and Antarctica's Southern Ocean secret that could dramatically alter global climate patterns. Plus, discover how scientists engineered a floral-scented fungus to eliminate disease-carrying mosquitoes and why the James Webb telescope found a planet that shouldn't exist according to our current understanding of the cosmos.
