Today's episode explores groundbreaking discoveries reshaping our understanding of science. Learn how 400-million-year-old horsetail plants produce water with meteorite-like isotope signatures that unlock ancient climate secrets, and discover why boron arsenide has finally surpassed diamond as the ultimate heat conductor. We also reveal the first real-time capture of a massive star's explosion bursting through its surface, uncover a fierce 240-million-year-old predator that predated dinosaurs, and explore how scientists are turning plastic waste into powerful water purification catalysts. Plus, major breakthroughs in understanding cosmic rays, rare genetic causes of fatty liver disease, and a dietary trick that mimics cold-exposure fat burning.
