The Quietest, Oldest, and Magnetic-iest Science of 2018

The video highlights three significant scientific achievements of 2018. First, a study on bees during the 2017 solar eclipse revealed their sensitivity to light changes. Second, the discovery of the oldest known drawing in a South African cave pushed back the timeline of human artistic expression. Lastly, physicists in Tokyo created the strongest indoor magnetic field, advancing research in quantum physics. These stories showcase the diverse and groundbreaking nature of scientific exploration.
