Scientists have unearthed a 540-million-year-old 'lost world' of ancient animals in China, pushing back the timeline for complex life and rewriting one of biology's most fundamental chapters. In medical news, researchers are engineering bacteria that seek out and consume tumors from the inside, while a newly identified opioid compound promises powerful pain relief without the dangerous side effects of current drugs. The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a 'forbidden' Jupiter-sized planet that defies every model we have of how giant planets form. Meanwhile, a 20-year genomic study reveals that cholera bacteria are locked in an evolutionary arms race that shapes outbreaks worldwide, and NASA's Artemis II crew is circling the Moon right now, preparing to break records for how far humans have ever traveled from Earth.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
