About this listen

 Today's episode explores groundbreaking discoveries across multiple scientific fields. We dive into the surprising medical potential of newly discovered compounds in cannabis leaves, including rare flavoalkaloids that could revolutionize medicine. We examine a massive binary star system that offers clues about black hole formation, and discuss puzzling findings from the James Webb Space Telescope about planet formation. The episode also covers breakthrough detection technologies for nanoplastics, new superconducting detectors designed to catch dark matter particles, and research revealing how exercise intensity affects our gut microbiome. We wrap up with a major study on dietary impacts on aging and dementia prevention.
