## Resource

Scientists have unveiled a realistic framework for mining asteroids to fuel Mars colonization, while a new plasma regime may have cracked two of fusion energy's biggest barriers at once — potentially reshaping the timeline for limitless clean power. A 1,200-year-old manuscript long thought lost has resurfaced in Rome, containing one of the oldest surviving versions of the first known poem written in English. Researchers have identified a hidden molecular switch in brown fat that could simultaneously fight obesity and bone disease, and a new study has pinpointed a distinct chemical brain pattern in people with anxiety disorders. A rare hantavirus strain capable of human-to-human transmission has killed at least three cruise ship passengers in the South Atlantic, triggering an international health investigation.
