Suh-weeeeet....

Quoted: The most powerful atom-smasher ever built could make some bizarre discoveries, such as invisible matter or extra dimensions in space, after it is switched on in August. But some critics fear the Large Hadron Collider could exceed physicists' wildest conjectures: Will it spawn a black hole that could swallow Earth? Or spit out particles that could turn the planet into a hot dead clump?

Quoted: After two weeks, the researchers had created a culture that included all three kinds of heart cells, and – importantly – no others. Even in a Petri dish, the cells beat.

Huh.

Quoted: "If you want a boy, eat a healthy diet with a high calorie intake, including breakfast," says Fiona Mathews of the University of Exeter in the UK, and lead researcher of the study.

Quoted: "Gravity pretty much is irrelevant."

Quoted: World boomerang champion Yasuhiro Togai gave the paper boomerang to Doi and asked him to try throwing it in space.

Interesting...

Quoted: It sounds counterintuitive, but burning oil and planting forests to compensate is more environmentally friendly than burning biofuel. So say scientists who have calculated the difference in net emissions between using land to produce biofuel and the alternative: fuelling cars with gasoline and replanting forests on the land instead.
