The prospect of iPods that can hold millions of songs and PCs being able to turn on instantly, rather than taking minutes to "boot up", comes much closer today.
Thousands of women who suffer from breast cancer were today given fresh hope after scientists announced they had discovered a way to stop the disease spreading.
One of the world's smallest ever dinosaur skulls has been discovered and scientists believe it may fill a gap in their knowledge about why some of the creatures turned vegetarian. The skull, less than two inches long, belonged to a baby Heterodontosaurus which lived 190 million years ago and was just six inches tall and 18 inches from head to tail.
Asian and European honeybees can live happily together in mixed colonies because they easily learn to understand one another's "dance languages" despite having evolved different dialects, an international team has shown for the first time. This work has potentially major implications for our understanding of animal communication.
Chimps were found to be more likely to take risks in seeking food than bonobos, their endangered close relative found in the Congo...results suggest that species-specific feeding ecologies can strongly influence risk preferences.
Flat, parallel sheets of carbon atoms in the graphite of pencil lead have been peeled apart by the scientists to yield a sheet a single atom thick that has peculiar properties.it provides the wherewithal to probe the workings of the universe and without the need for exotic equipment, such as the 4.5 billion atom smasher being readied
In the journal Current Biology, researchers conclude that the birds' tool-use skills rival those seen among great apes, such as chimpanzees and gorillas. Moreover, the birds appeared to solve the problem with reasoning rather than brute force trial and error.
A simple blood test that could act as a "crystal ball" to detect early signs of cancer could be tested on patients within two years.Scientists have shown the test works in picking up signs of prostate cancer and say it could potentially also be used for other cancers ranging from breast to lung.

...a discovery that sheds new light on why younger people are more creative. This adds to evidence that young animals are born with circuitry to make them explore the possibilities of their vocal apparatus and to make sense of the world. This idea that there are circuits in the brain that drive exploration is also exciting
While owls and foxes have earned a reputation for wisdom and cunning, the humble goldfish has become popularly known for its ignorance, swimming contentedly around its bowl as its memory was wiped every three seconds. But scientists now claim fish are as intelligent as rats.

Bionic eyes have been implanted in British patients for the first time offering hope to hundreds of thousands of blind people.
Red wine does indeed explain why the French get away with a relatively clean bill of heart health despite eating a diet loaded with saturated fats, concludes a new study.
Seems the Japanese are working on the CPU portion of future nanobots, which could usher in the new golden age of nanotech. Oops, too bad we blew 3 trillion on war instead a "Manhattan" type super-project as nanotech will be other ultimate open source apps (you CAD
Molecules can come in left and right handed forms and one puzzle is that most life on Earth contains left handed amino acids. These amino acids "seeds" formed in interstellar space, possibly on asteroids as they careened through space. "This work is related to the probability that there is life somewhere else,"
Photographs of a giant spider eating a bird in an Australian garden have stunned wildlife experts. The pictures show the spider with its long black legs wrapped around the body of a dead bird suspended in its web.

The fast-spreading cane toads are the country's most disliked introduced pest, their poisonous skin accounting for the deaths of millions of birds, crocodiles and other predators each year.
Thousands of tons of material put out to be recycled by environmentally conscious Britons secretly ends up at landfill, it has emerged.

A 'comedy brain cell' has been discovered by scientists, which responds to humour.The unique experiment found that an individual brain cell fires during The Simpsons, and go into action once again as a person freely recalls the same episode.The same electrodes could be used to monitor single brain cells in the brain's hippocampus.
