Episode Details

Researchers have identified 45 rocky exoplanets in habitable zones — including candidates in the TRAPPIST-1 and Proxima Centauri systems — that could potentially support alien life. In the deep ocean, scientists discovered 24 new crustacean species including an entirely new superfamily, pushing the known boundaries of life on our own planet. A drug that hundreds of millions of people take daily has been found to work in a completely unexpected place in the body, rewriting what we thought we knew about how it functions. Scientists also cracked open new understanding of how the human brain stores and retrieves memories, revealing an elegant two-system process with major implications for memory disorders. And a brain implant smaller than a grain of salt can now wirelessly transmit neural activity for over a year — no wires, no bulk, just microscopic technology that could change neuroscience forever.
