The man who helped to first sequence the human genome ten years ago, is looking to use biology to tackle the energy problem.

 Using just four hairs and a few small fragments of bone from an ancient man discovered in the permafrost of western Greenland, a research team from the University of Copenhagen have sequenced about 80% of the ancient man's genome. 

Researchers from the Dept. of Food Science and Technology at the University of California, Davis have found that beer is a significant source of dietary silicon - a key ingredient for increasing bone density - and suggest that moderate beer consumption may even help to prevent osteoporosis.

Hubble Images Capture Universe's Beauty, Awe

Entering its 20th year of service, the Hubble Space Telescope has made more than 880,000 observations, taken 570,000 images of 29,000 different celestial objects, and piled up a load of impressive scientific accomplishments.

Jamaica's rising star, sprinter Usain Bolt, set a new world record in the 100-meters at the Olympics on August 16, seemingly leaving other world-class sprinters in his dust. However, some biostatisticians claim, "this is nowhere near what we predict for the natural limit of
the human body".

Yo ... what's up LabGrab comrades?!
