Similar legislation was introduced in the U.S. Senate by Democrat Patrick Leahy and Republican Mike Lee. It would result in phone companies, not the NSA, collecting so-called'metadata' on trillions of phone calls

Scientists from the University of Connecticut warned that one in six animals are at risk of extinction. They studied data from 131 biodiversity studies to come to their bleak conclusions.

Researchers at the University of Washington studied the telerobot Raven II. They found that robots designed for surgery could be 'easily' hacked in to. This is because they are operated over public networks which allowed the experts to access them and stop them working. They were able to change the speed of the arms of the robot and change their orientation. And they were also able to easily stop the robot from ever being properly reset, thus effectively making a surgical procedure impossible. While this experiment was performed in a controlled environment, the researchers said it's clear more stringent security measures are needed

Earth's land masses are already in the process of forming a new supercontinent called Amasia. In 2012 a study suggested this may be centered on the North Pole.

Australia have dropped the ridiculous policy of not selecting their best players if they are playing overseas. Stuart Lancaster must be free to pick his best players, no matter where in the world they ply their trade. Toulon's Matt Giteau and Drew Mitchell are top-class performers for England.

Jonny Wilkinson moved to France and became even better than when he played for England so that completes the argument for me. It’s just crazy and misguided not to make any Englishman available

Sellers with round numbers are more likely to close a deal six to 11 days sooner, and are up to 5 per cent more likely

This could be due to differences in DNA repair capabilities for migratory species as a result of flapping their wings - which lowers their antioxidant levels and makes them more vulnerable to radiation.

Swedish and British researchers looked at data from 1,090 breast cancer patients. They found 500 women treated with tamoxifen had half the risk of their cancer returning. Women who drank two cups of coffee a day had smaller tumours and lower levels of hormone-dependent tumours. TamoxIfen blocks oestrogen from reaching the cancer cells so it either grows more slowly or stops growing altogether. Study found caffeine caused breast cancer cells to divide less frequently and die more often.
New approach will target cancer stem cells that evade conventional drugs and cause tumours to re-grow. Researchers are testing the drug Sulforadex in the most common type of breast cancer. It is currently tackled using hormonal treatments such as tamoxifen to reduce oestrogen levels. But many women go on to develop resistance and the disease comes back.

University of Illinois scientists have created the first 3D simulation of merging black holes. It shows what happens when two supermassive black holes collide in a disk. Material swirls around the objects in a quasar and jets fire out from the poles. As they come closer, the magnetic field lines around the two become erratic. And the jets firing out from each object merge into one. Gravitational waves - ripples in space-time caused by such an event - are also predicted to be created by the merger.

Researchers at the University of Huddersfield have created a technique which they claim can distinguish between the genetic fingerprints of identical twins. Method is called high resolution melt curve analysis (HRMA) and involves heating DNA until its bonds break - identifying minute differences between two twins.

But as they age their different life experiences, such as smoking or diet, create variations in the number of hydrogen bonds in the DNA. The more hydrogen bonds present in DNA, the higher the temperature required to melt them.
