Today, scientists are finding that the frictionless flow observed in liquid helium may also occur in the solid phase. But the jury is still out on whether supersolidity exists — and whether its discovery will lead to any Nobels.

Why Large Hadron Collider Scientists are Using CouchDB
The Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment (CMS) at CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Research) will deploy the NoSQL database CouchDB into production this summer, CouchDB corporate sponsor Couchio announced today.
Graphene is a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon that conducts electricity 100 times faster than silicon. It has been flagged by IBM and Fujitsu as a silicon replacement in future transistors.

Model describes universe with no big bang, no beginning, and no end
Essentially, this work is a novel theory about how the magnitudes of the three basic physical dimensions, mass, time, and length, are converted into each other, or equivalently, a novel theory about how the geometry of spacetime and the distribution of mass-energy interact.
The second one must be fake. The first one works just fine though. I got it on the 3rd try.

The Known Universe takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible because of the world’s most complete four-dimensional map of the universe, the Digital Universe Atlas that is maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History.

In 2009 Oscar had both hind paws severed by a combine harvester. Since then he has undergone a pioneering operation to add prosthetic feet.
Last week, in what may be the biggest medical breakthrough of its kind in years, a group of scientists published results in The Lancet describing a completely new type of anti-viral treatment that appears to cure Ebola. They report a 100% success rate, although admittedly the test group was very small, just 4 rhesus monkeys.
