## Resource

Ancient fossils unearthed in Australia are challenging everything scientists thought they knew about the origins of complex life, while NASA satellites are detecting ominous ocean patterns that could signal a major climate event later this year. Researchers have also confirmed a decades-old 'impossible' earthquake deep in Earth's mantle, and an AI-designed vaccine targeting a broad range of coronaviruses has cleared its first human trial with promising results. Rounding out a packed episode: a potential saliva test for dangerous sleep deprivation, a new phase of matter captured for the first time, and NASA's jaw-dropping crew reveal for the Artemis III Moon mission.
