Plus, meet the extremophiles – denizens of the hottest, deepest and most devastated landscapes on Earth, and find out how these weird creatures could help develop new drugs for astronauts. Don’t miss these stories and others on cosmic rays, travelling at the speed of sound, how organic LED technology began its life as seaweed, why scientists in the 1950s went to war and many more.
