Researchers have built miniature human livers in the lab, which could lead to better drug discovery and could even point the way toward implantable artificial organs. The mini-livers seem to act like human livers in the lab, but it remains to be seen how well they'll survive and perform when transplanted into animals or, maybe one day, humans. “We are excited about the possibilities this research represents, but must stress that we’re at an early stage and many technical hurdles must be overcome

The project was a collaboration between several climate scientists and marine biologist Kristin Laidre, who declared the experiment a success. “Narwhals proved to be highly efficient and cost-effective ‘biological oceanographers,’ providing wintertime

It was earlier this year that NASA gave up on freeing Spirit: With a broken wheel, the rover simply could not extricate itself from the loose terrain that ensnares it. But as the rover team drove Spirit back and forth, it dug deeper and deeper into the Martian ground. Says team member Ray Arvidson: "
