Science News Thread

[mushindo]

No fancy intro this time. Just post some interesting science news, or old news. I consider "Science" to be of broad spectrum. So, as long as it is interesting, most things will probably do fine as almost anything can be considered a "science"
You will have to provide a link with the original story and provide a brief description/explanation of said link. The description/explanation doesn't need to be elaborate, just enough to let everyone know what it is about. Feel free to point out anything you found interesting and everyone is more than welcome to discuss a link/subject to their heart's content. Though, keep all thread discussions related to the science. Not something that is arbitrary to it. I.E religion, politics, ethics, etc. You can create a new thread for such discussions
