Astronomers have found the astronomical equivalent of prehistoric life in our intergalactic backyard: a group of small, ancient galaxies that has waited 10 billion years to come together. These “late bloomers” are on their way to building a large elliptical galaxy.

Intelligent machines that not only think for themselves but also actively learn are the vision of researchers who have been co-ordinating the European Union research project “Brain-i-Nets” (Novel Brain Inspired Learning Paradigms for Large-Scale Neuronal Networks). The scientists want to design a new generation of neuro-computers based on the principles of calculation and learning mechanisms [...]
Tiny bits of molecular “trash” found in circulating blood appear to be good predictors of cardiovascular disease and untimely death, say researchers.

When scientists realized that observing and analyzing oscillations in the Sun could provide information about its interior, it was only a matter of time before Helioseismology was put to work on other stars.
Researchers have shown that measuring the fetal zone of the adrenal gland is a better predictor of pre-term birth than measuring cervical length.
Biologists have unraveled the biochemistry of how bacteria so precisely time cell division, a key element in understanding how all organisms from bacteria to humans use their biological clocks to control basic cellular functions.
