A new algorithm, which mines databases of tissue specificity, gene connectivity and disease association, has identified a new group of genes that interact with disease-causing genes and impact on disease outcomes. 
"Magnetic cows" are visible from space

Despite thousands of years of coexistence, exploitation and cheese, humanity seems to have missed an intriguing fact about cows: they like to point north. Or possibly south. After some exploration, it was found that other animals, such as deer, do this too.
Researchers have explored the matter and found that the ruminants are aligning themselves to magnetic north, not true north. In other words, this is about the magnetic field, not maximizing heat from the sun or getting out of the wind. 


Flexible polymers make stretchy conductors

Scientists have managed to combine polymers and nanotubules to create a condictive surface that can be stretched up to 38% without loss of function. Just the thing for flexible circuit boards!
Now my question is what are we going to use this stuff for first? Oh sure, we could invent a blood sugar monitoring system that could fit right into a diabetic's vein, vital sign monitors that could be worn like a sweater vest, but I think it's far more likely that we end up with MP3 players that can be molded straight to the user's auditory canal 


Green books meet reality, competition and snags
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 year 6 months (www.nature.com)
I remember reading about these on the MIT website last year. A US company pledged to sell laptops to children in poor countries for only $100. They said that they could meet this price largely by eliminating redundant programming but also by filling only very large orders. The books are very durable, powered by a hand crank, and can network with each other wirelessly.
Nature provides some news, though
