The James Webb Space Telescope has produced the first-ever 3D map of Uranus's upper atmosphere β€” and what it found about the ice giant's auroras and magnetic field is turning planetary science on its head. A newly detected X-ray outburst may be the first direct evidence of a long-theorized 'missing link' class of black hole caught in the act of consuming a dead star. Back on Earth, scientists confirmed a previously unknown ancient asteroid impact in Brazil, while two stunning fossil finds β€” including a land-walking crocodile ancestor and a newly named 'Sword Dragon' β€” are reshaping our understanding of prehistoric life. In health news, Duke University researchers may have cracked the root cause of chronic nerve pain, Australian scientists just identified why insomniac brains won't switch off, and two separate Alzheimer's breakthroughs β€” including one involving sound β€” are offering real hope for non-invasive treatment.
