🔬 Just Discovered: A Rule-Breaking Planet, 5.5 Million Hidden Bees & A Nasal Spray Targeting Brain Aging

from 🎙️ Science News Daily | Peer Review'd · host Peer Review'd

Astronomers have identified a mysterious fourth planet in a distant star system that defies everything we thought we knew about how planets form — and it's making scientists question whether our own solar system is the odd one out. A two-hundred-year-old geological mystery has finally been cracked, with implications that go far beyond textbooks and into the future of advanced materials manufacturing. Researchers used AI to uncover surprising new insights about a tiny organ most of us forget we have — and it turns out it may hold the key to how long we live. A shocking study out of USC has found an unexpected link between healthy eating habits and lung cancer risk, and the explanation behind it is a wake-up call about the world we live in. Plus: 5.5 million bees discovered beneath a New York cemetery, ancient diets revealing prehistoric social inequality, and a fuel cell that literally runs on dirt.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
