The time is here once again. Time to gather around and take a well deserved hiatus from all the politics of the day. Science talk is here. New discoveries, new takes on old knowledge, and other bits of news are all available for the perusing in today's information world. Over the fold are selections from the past week from a few of the many excellent science news sites around the world. Today's tidbits include new antenna made of carbon nanotubes could make photovoltaic cells more efficient, artificial skin made out of nanowires, water that looks and smells bad may be toxic, the closest encounter with Jupiter until 2022, veterinarian says natural foods may not be best for pets, and Arctic sea ice reaches its lowest 2010 extent. Pull up that beach chair and relax. There is plenty of room for everyone. Settle in for one more session of Dr. Possum's science education and entertainment.
