🔬 Giant Trees, Time Crystals & a Meteorite's Ancient Secret — What Scientists Just Uncovered

Researchers have discovered the tallest known tree in East Asia — an 84-meter Taiwania fir hidden in Taiwan's remote mountains — while also uncovering dense 'temples of giants' that rank among the most carbon-rich forests on Earth. A meteorite that crashed through a New Jersey roof was found to contain ancient salty fluids and organic chemistry, hinting that liquid water once flowed inside early solar system asteroids. Scientists have created the world's first experimentally demonstrated photonic time crystal, a material that reshapes light in trillionths of a second with major implications for optical computing. New brain research is rewriting what we know about weight regain after dieting, revealing a biological 'set point' memory that drives hunger and cravings — and a Cambridge study uncovered a paradox in how two opposite-acting obesity drugs can both lead to weight loss. Plus: Egyptian royal mummies revealed as trained warriors, a megalodon discovery hiding in plain sight on a museum shelf, and a new beetle genus named after a beloved anime hero.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
