🔬 Quantum Holy Grail Found? Plus Ancient Geometry, a Herpes Virus Cancer Cure & More Just Dropped

Episode 285 Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
Scientists may have finally identified the long-sought 'holy grail' of quantum computing — a triplet superconductor material that could revolutionize how we store and transmit information. In ancient history, geometry was discovered carved into ostrich eggs over 60,000 years ago, rewriting what we know about early human cognition. On the medical front, a single dose of a modified herpes virus is showing remarkable results against one of the deadliest brain cancers, while mild COVID-19 is being linked to hidden neurological changes that linger long after recovery. Out in the cosmos, a supernova has appeared five times in the sky thanks to gravitational lensing — and it could finally resolve one of astronomy's biggest unsolved debates. From glacier loss in Switzerland to wolves stealing cougar kills in Yellowstone, this episode is packed with discoveries that challenge everything we thought we knew.
