NASA Voyager 1 encounters new region in deep space
ScienceDaily (Dec. 3, 2012) NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft has entered a new region at the far reaches of our solar system that scientists feel is the final area the spacecraft has to cross before reaching interstellar space. Scientists refer to this new region as a magnetic highway for charged particles because our sun’s magnetic field lines are connected to interstellar magnetic field lines. Continue reading

How worms are pioneering remote control medicine
Sandrine Ceurstemont, editor, New Scientist TV If you want to make the worm turn, try using magnets. By implanting nanoparticles in nerve cells in a nematode’s head, Arnd Pralle and his team from the State University of New York in Buffalo can make a wriggling worm alter its course when exposed to a magnetic field. Continue reading
