7 Scientists discover the gene responsible for head regrowth: Smed-βcatenin-1 genetics, organ, regeneration, tissue growing When Reddien and Petersen turned off the Smed-βcatenin-1 gene they discovered that a flatworm will regenerate a head at any amputation site. In fact, if the scientists made six incisions in the side of the worm’s body, the worm would regrow six new heads. The human implications of this research are enticing. Engineering a person’s body to replace damaged or diseased cells, tissues, organs, or even limbs is one possibility. This would be helpful for treating diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Also, understanding normal cell regeneration is one step toward discovering what happens when stem cells malfunction during the process of cell renewal, 20100517 peek | visit add/edit

Their ambitious plan involves building a belt of solar cells around the Moon’s 6,800-mile (11,000-kilometer) equator, converting the electricity to powerful microwaves and lasers to be beamed at Earth, and finally converting the beams back to electricity at terrestrial power stations. The Luna Ring concept, the company says, could meet the entire world's energy needs. 20100602 peek | visit add/edit

19 Nepal and China agree on Mount Everest's height geology, Mount Everest, China, Nepal, GPS, growth They agreed that the world's highest mountain - which traverses the border of the two countries - should be recognised as being 8,848m tall. ... But geologists say that the estimates of both countries over the height of Mount Everest could be wrong. They say that the mountain is becoming higher as India is gradually pushed beneath China and Nepal because of shifting continental plates. In May 1999 an American team used GPS technology to record a height of 8,850m - a figure that is now used by the US National Geographic Society - although it has not been officially accepted by Nepal. 20100408 peek | visit add/edit
