Astronomers Find Coldest Star in the Universe

Astronomers have found a star that's only as hot as a cup of coffee, making it a candidate for the coldest star known. That is, assuming it's a star. While a cup of coffee may sound hot - the newly discovered object is about 200 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius) - our sun is about 10,000 degrees F (5,500 degrees C). So, by comparison, it really is quite cold.

Mechanical Insect Hovers With Printed Wings

So-called 3D printers are capable of printing objects out of metal, glass, plastic, even sugar and mashed potatoes. And now they're being used to print delicate, transluscent wings for mechanical insects. Until now, making wings for machines that can effectively mimic the flight of insects and birds has proven a delicate and time-consuming process taking days or longer to complete. "Production of an untethered, flapping-hovering machine itself is very challenging, and only a few have been made successfully to date," said researcher Hod Lipson, a roboticist at Cornell University.

Endangered Kittens Are Born Using In-Vitro Fertilization

Scientist hoping to help along endangered species have had luck breeding kittens for African black-footed cats. The sperm was taken from a male in 2003 and then an egg was fertilized in 2005 but then the embryo was kept frozen until just recently when it was placed in a surrogate mother who gave birth successfully in late February. Perhaps this process will be able to help conserve other species and hopefully it might go a little faster than 7 years. The embryo from one species can be placed with a surrogate cat from another species so this may help with very rare species.

World's First Anti-Cancer Remote-Controlled Microcarriers

Soon, drug delivery that precisely targets cancerous cells without exposing the healthy surrounding tissue to the medication's toxic effects will no longer be an oncologist's dream but a medical reality, thanks to the work of Professor Sylvain Martel, Director of the Nanorobotics Laboratory at Polytechnique Montréal. Known for being the world's first researcher to have guided a magnetic sphere through a living artery, Professor Martel is announcing a spectacular new breakthrough in the field of nanomedicine. Using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, his team successfully guided microcarriers loaded with a dose of anti-cancer drug through the bloodstream of a living rabbit, right up to a targeted area in the liver, where the drug was successfully administered. This is a medical first that will help improve chemoembolization, a current treatment for liver cancer.
