Each year, the editors and news staff of Science look back at the big science stories of the past 12 months, and dub one of them the Breakthrough of the Year. A special section of the 21 December 2007 issue showcases this year's top Breakthrough and nine runners-up, and takes a look at last year's predictions as well as areas to watch in 2008. Online extras include links to additional resources and references embedded in each article, a video presentation, and a special Breakthrough edition of the Science Podcast.
