Summary
Scientists have detected alarming signs that Africa may be in the early stages of tearing apart, with hidden mantle activity forcing its way through a deep fracture beneath Zambia. Meanwhile, a major Atlantic Ocean circulation system has been quietly weakening for two decades, with potentially catastrophic consequences for global weather and sea levels. In a stunning twist, the 2022 Tonga volcanic eruption — already one of the most powerful ever recorded — has been found to have done something no one predicted to our atmosphere. A grad student's offhand conversation at Mayo Clinic helped crack open a major breakthrough in aging research, revealing a precise new way to hunt down and target the so-called zombie cells linked to cancer and neurodegeneration. And if that's not enough, a blood pressure pill already sitting in medicine cabinets worldwide may have just found a surprising second life in the fight against cancer.
