Tooth Fairy - Image 1Shame on the tooth fairy for hoarding centuries' worth of people's teeth! Guess she (or he?) was right on the money all this time. A recent discovery made by Japanese scientists may finally break all ethical obstacles of stem cell research. Instead of cultivating the stem cells from human embryos, the team has found that suitable cells extracted from teeth may be used to develop and grow other types of cells in a laboratory. It's the modern world's wonder cure, baby! Open wiiiiiide.

Science Weekend Warrior: black holes and Martian ice cubes - Image 1Welcome to our first edition of the Science Weekend Warrior! This is the place where we talk about the cutting edge of science, from the latest technological advancements, to the latest discoveries on Mars. Though sometimes we just like to talk about something interesting, like how Mars (the chocolate company, not the planet) wants to decode the DNA of chocolate. Basically, stuff to geek over.

Optimus Prime says... - Image 1Now, personally, my knowledge of Japan looking for aliens is basically limited to that line of toys which eventually gave birth to Optimus Prime and the rest of his Transformers crew. All that might change though, if Japan's little project bears any fruit. Don't look now, but a team of astronomers in Japan are actually planning to scan around the cosmos for aliens. [cue "You Got the Touch" theme song]
