In an exciting development, an international team of researchers has, for the first time, pieced together the human genome from an Aboriginal Australian. The results, now to be published in the international journal Science, re-interpret the prehistory of our species. By sequencing the genome, the researchers demonstrate that Aboriginal Australians descend directly from an early human expansion into Asia that took place some 70,000 years ago, at least 24,000 years before the population movements that gave rise to present-day Europeans and Asians. The results imply that modern day Aboriginal Australians are in ...read more
Fragments from an old six-ton NASA satellite hurtled toward Earth on Friday, while the exact site of the crash-landing remained a mystery into the final hours.

Fragments from the six-ton NASA satellite are hurtling towards Earth, while the exact site of the crash-landing remain a mystery into the final hours. The US space agency has stressed that the risk is “extremely small” of any of the 26 chunks expected to survive the ...read more
Abusive men who select partners mainly based on appearance are likely to be violent again after completing an abuser intervention program, according to a new University of Michigan study. Fifty-nine percent of those who mentioned at least one physical trait as the reason for their attraction were violent again after the program, compared with 39 percent who did not mention physical traits as a reason. “This finding is consistent with the notion that offenders who view their partners superficially will be less likely to end their violence,” said Daniel Saunders, professor of social work and the study’s ...read more
Scientists at Cambridge University are exhibiting a prototype table that demonstrates how biological fuel cells can harness energy from plants. Moss is regarded as a menace by gardeners who seek to eradicate it from their lawns. Now researchers all over the world are exploring how moss, algae and plants could be used as a source of renewable energy in the future. A team of designers and scientists at Cambridge University are exhibiting a novel moss table at the London Design Festival which takes place today and tomorrow. The table will showcase an emerging ...read more
