Episode Details

Scientists have spotted the famously cheerful Happy Face spider thousands of miles from where it was thought to exist — raising deep questions about evolution and animal distribution. A 20-year study reveals wild orangutans in Borneo deliberately self-medicating with plants, suggesting great apes have a far more sophisticated 'natural pharmacy' than we ever imagined. Physicists have achieved a quantum time reversal, bending the arrow of time and harvesting energy from measurements in a development with major implications for quantum computing. Engineers have unveiled a spray-on powder that seals life-threatening wounds in just one second, even in the most difficult-to-treat injuries. Meanwhile, a strange new signal at LIGO has reignited hopes that primordial black holes — potential candidates for dark matter — may finally be within reach of detection.
