The article summarises 10 possible ways we could practically reach the stars...but in reality it's still a long time off

Good article, though it still doesn't identify dark matter. Could it be the neutralino? Wait the results from the LHC in 2010 with great interest.

The predicted neutralino may actually make up a portion or all of dark matter, if it's existence can be proved by the LHC.

"A quest that began over a decade ago with a chance observation has reached a milestone: the identification of a gene that may regulate regeneration in mammals. The absence of this single gene, called p21, confers a healing potential in mice long thought to have been lost through evolution and reserved for creatures like flatworms, sponges, and some species of salamander. In a report published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers from The Wistar Institute demonstrate that mice that lack the p21 gene gain the ability to regenerate lost or damaged tissue."

Cells within a tumour potentially not acting independantly, but more like an integrated organism.

Our aspiration is to become the course management platform of choice for instructors and students around the globe. But of course, iversity's cutting-edge infrastructure can also be deployed for international research projects. Work is something you do rather than somewhere you go. With this maxim in mind, iversity has designed a cloud-based service that fosters limitless collaboration among academics worldwide. Faculty are no longer forced to work with the outdated software in use at their institution. Instead, they can sign up on an individual basis. Oh, and the best part: it's free.

Omniscious is a free open online collaborative problem solving contest platform in development. The system is intended for anyone curious and interested in solving wicked problems or investigating complicated unanswered questions.
