Science Tidbits

by possum

Here we again. Magical, marvelous Monday is here.  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 turning heat into computing power, ultrathin solar cells, scarless brain surgery, climate change may bring prime time for parasites, stem cells that do not age, and could genetically altered trees help counter global warming.  Pull up that comfy chair and relax.  There is plenty of room for everyone.  Settle in for one more session of Dr. Possum's science education and entertainment.
