Galaxy with almost no dark mater discovered
https://phys.org/news/2018-03-dark-galaxy.html
Paradoxically, this provides confirmatory evidence for dark matter's existence in the rest of the universe.

dark matter = climate change ....... deny, deny, deny, etc.
I'm guessing the missing DM is somehow associated with the orange shitgibbon.

Can't see any potential for unexpected disaster there. Nope.

Enzymes are not self-replicating. This is probably going to be applied in an industrial setting to improve recycling efficiency, not mass dosing of the oceans. It may have to come to that, but it's probably not practical to do so. Of course, the original PETase enzyme they improved upon naturally evolved in a Japanese landfill so some ocean bacteria could already be well underway on a similar evolutionary trajectory.

What you’re looking at is the surface of the comet 67p/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, which is orbited by the European Space Agency’s Rosetta probe. The photo comes from Rosetta’s OSIRIS, or Optical, Spectroscopic, and Infrared Remote Imaging System. The raw data was collected on June 1, 2016, and posted publicly on March 22 of this year.

Think couloir goes? Probably not enough gravity to get back on the ground if there’s mandatory air at the bottom.

That's amazing.
Macroscopic entanglement

OK, not quite macroscopic, but at 15 microns it's MASSIVE compared to photons or single atoms where quantum entanglement is usually studied.

"Robots can now grow human organs"
headline is a little misleading, robots can do the task much faster than humans after being set up to do it; but goes to show you that there are more tasks that can be automated/done by robots than you would ever imagine.TGR forums cannot handle SkiCougar !

Good discussion about that^^ from one of the Curiosity SAM team members: https://phys.org/news/2018-06-geobio...mons-mars.html
TL;DR summary: Not evidence of life at this time, but the discovery strongly validates future plans to bring samples back to Earth for more sophisticated analysis.
