Archaeologists in Greece unearthed the oldest hand-held wooden tools ever found — 430,000 years old and shaped with surprising intentionality. A brand-new species of tiny blue octopus was discovered nearly 6,000 feet beneath the ocean near the Galápagos Islands, reminding us how much of our own planet remains a mystery. In health science, a Trojan horse weight-loss drug showed striking results in mice, a Vitamin B12 compound showed promise for crossing the blood-brain barrier to target brain tumors, and eating grapes may actually reprogram how your skin responds to UV radiation. Meanwhile, a major climate emissions database may be significantly undercounting CO2 from cities, raising urgent questions about the accuracy of the data driving global climate policy.
