🔬 Cancer Breakthroughs, Martian Mysteries, Quantum Physics, and Sleep-Alzheimer's Connection

Today's episode explores groundbreaking cancer research revealing metabolic vulnerabilities in deadly brain tumors that could revolutionize treatment. We journey to the edge of our solar system to discover a massive new dwarf planet candidate with a 25,000-year orbit, then dive into Mars' surprisingly chaotic interior structure revealed by NASA's InSight mission. The show covers remarkable quantum physics achievements including real-time observation of atomic nuclear spin flips and electrons in graphene behaving like perfect liquids. We also examine concerning links between contact sports and dementia, Panama's missing ocean upwelling phenomenon, and promising research showing how a common sleep medication might protect against Alzheimer's disease.Love Science?
