Episode Details

New research is rewriting the rules of evolution — and cacti are at the center of it. Scientists have also discovered that hibernating animals may hold the genetic keys to treating diabetes and Alzheimer's in humans. An international team has found that fungal proteins could be actively seeding clouds and influencing rainfall in ways we never accounted for. Meanwhile, a nearby galaxy turns out to be a shattered cosmic wreck in disguise, and the James Webb Space Telescope has met its match in a bizarrely low-density planet it simply cannot see through. Plus: the fastest light detector ever built, a major breakthrough in converting CO2 into fuel, ravens with mental maps, and a popular anti-aging drug combo that may be damaging brains.
