Summary
Scientists have just dropped a major new explanation for what's actually powering Yellowstone's supervolcano — and it overturns decades of accepted theory. A newly studied prehistoric scorpion the size of a coffee table is forcing researchers to rewrite the rulebook on why ancient animals grew so enormous. Astronomers caught a rare supernova in the act of revealing the deep interior of a dying star, confirming how the heavy elements that make up life itself are forged. Meanwhile, a new study is seriously challenging whether consciousness has anything to do with biology at all — a question that's only getting more urgent as AI advances. Plus: a breathing trick that changes how you make decisions, NASA finds ancient water on a wobbling asteroid, and a hidden virus may have silently infected nearly 10 million people.
