In a world that's hungry for energy but increasingly wary of the damage that generating power can do, solar might just be the answer: clean energy that's cheap and virtually endless.
Scientists have succeeded in generating a new type of embryonic stem cell that carries a single copy of the human genome, instead of the two copies typically found in normal stem cells. These are the first human cells that are known to be capable of cell division with just one copy of the parent cell
A kitchen that feeds 100,000 people daily, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week for free, is ready to raise the bar even further and set a benchmark for others to follow. Golden Temple – one of the world’s largest community kitchens, will soon be serving organic food.
