🔬 NASA's Daring Mars Flyby, Zombie Cancer Cells Destroyed & The Cosmic Map That Changes Everything

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

NASA's Psyche spacecraft is making a dramatic close pass of Mars in a high-stakes gravitational slingshot toward one of the solar system's most mysterious objects, while Curiosity rover had an unexpected run-in with a stubborn Martian rock. The James Webb Space Telescope has produced the most detailed map ever of the cosmic web, stretching back to the earliest moments of galaxy formation, and astronomers are baffled by an ancient galaxy that defies a rule nearly every galaxy follows. Scientists have found a way to destroy chemotherapy-surviving 'zombie cells' that fuel cancer growth, and Princeton researchers have unveiled a working hybrid device that merges living brain cells with electronics. There's also a hidden heart risk that standard cholesterol tests completely miss, and a surprising finding about blood pressure readings that could affect millions of people.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
