## Resource

Astronomers have made a jaw-dropping first-of-its-kind detection of a sugar molecule drifting freely in interstellar space — and it could change everything we thought we knew about the origins of life. The James Webb Space Telescope has also unmasked a hidden third giant planet in one of the galaxy's most-watched star systems, detected by sniffing its atmosphere through a cloud of debris. Back on Earth, physicists have finally confirmed a quantum prediction from 20 years ago that brings us one step closer to fully connected quantum computers — and engineers have built a real-world thermal cloak that makes objects vanish on infrared cameras. Plus, the common diet and fitness advice flooding your social media feed gets a reality check from researchers, and orcas in the Gulf of California have been caught doing something so bizarre, scientists don't even have an explanation yet.
