Also this month, Dr. Kopecky brings us news from the worldwide science journals about how different people differently perceive musical harmonies and instruments, a powerful new telescope that’s spotted a brand new neutron star, and some incredible engineering bringing us breakthroughs in the science of nuclear fusion.
