We had a particularly great week for new research findings, in my opinion. I mean, stories like a 2% improvement in a chemical catalyst are important, sure. There are people out there in lab coats who will click on them. But then, some weeks, you get things like this directly captured, hi-res image of the universe’s cosmological filaments. Or the discovery of two miraculously preserved, ancient texts by Greek mathematician Apollonius that were believed to be lost to history. Or a study finding how RNA passes through cells with genetic instructions that are carried across entire generations.
