## Resource

Engineers have shattered a century-old assumption by building a plastic electric motor that runs on electrostatic forces instead of magnets, potentially revolutionizing how we design machines. Interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS has surprised astronomers with unexpectedly high levels of methanol, while Japan's Hayabusa2 asteroid samples have confirmed all five DNA and RNA building blocks exist in space rock. A missing page of the legendary Archimedes Palimpsest has been tracked down in a French museum, raising hopes of recovering lost mathematical knowledge. Meanwhile, the ancient city of Mohenjo-daro is challenging everything historians thought they knew about wealth, power, and the rise of complex civilizations.
