Human neurons in the mouse brain: a good idea?
At Stanford University, researchers managed to grow human brain tissue in the brain of genetically modified mice, to occupy more than 90% of the released cortical space. This feat was published in the journal "Nature" on October 8. The objective: to understand the development of the brain and certain neurological diseases.

Nature’s engineering: how Devon beach made its own flood defences
Two-mile long Pebble Ridge looks artificial but was created by waves and storms over centuries Northam Burrows in Devon has an impressive coastal defence: a bank of limestone cobblestones, 2 miles long and standing more than 2 metres above high tide. It looks artificial, but the bank is natural, made by wave action over centuries. Known as the Pebble Ridge, this is an example of a coastal boulder deposit. Longshore drift carries rocks from nearby eroding cliffs eastwards down the coast to Northam Burrows. During big storms, powerful waves carry a mixture of stones, gravel, pebbles and sand up

Scientists finally see how nature moves energy so efficiently
Researchers have captured key steps in a chemical reaction that helps nature transfer energy with remarkable efficiency. Ultrafast X-rays revealed how changes involving electrons and protons are closely linked to the rearrangement of surrounding water molecules. Because similar reactions drive photosynthesis and other energy-conversion processes, the technique could help scientists develop better catalysts, fuel cells, and flow batteries.
