Summary
Scientists have just uncovered a massive, continent-scale geological structure buried beneath the ice sheets of East Antarctica — a discovery that could change everything we thought we knew about the frozen continent. Two independent research teams are also turning the origins-of-life debate on its head, pointing to ancient asteroid impacts and microscopic mineral particles as unlikely architects of early biology. In medicine, a promising drug is showing unexpected benefits for the 800 million people worldwide living with chronic kidney disease, while new brain scan data suggests autism may actually be two distinct biological conditions hiding under one label. And in Alzheimer's research, scientists have identified a previously overlooked disease mechanism — and a compound that appears to stop it in its tracks.
