RESEARCH FINDINDS AND INVENTIONS.

1). SCIENTISTS DISCOVER A PLANET MADE COMPLETELY OF DIAMONDS
Astronauts have spotted an exotic planet that seems to be made of diamonds racing around a tiny star. The planet is probably the remnant of a once big star that has lost its outer layoto "pulsar star" in its orbit. In addition to carbon found on the planet, it is also likely to contain oxygen which may be prevalent at the surface and hopefully conducive for human habitation. The planet is said to be worth a whopping $79 nonillion which is a total number of thirty zeros.


2).CREATION OF A MAMMAL ENTIRELY FROM A STEM CELL.
Researchers at Kyoto university created a mouse from a stem cell only. The achievement shows the remarkable possibilities presented by regenerative technologies such as stem cells. It also brings a question to mind about a potential future whereby human births may not require parents. Can that be possible?

3). FIRST ANIMAL EATING PLANT.
An exotic sheep eating plant which has earned its name because it literally kills and eats sheep or goats, has blossomed for the first time at The Royal Horticultural Society Garden in The United Kingdom. The plant known scientifically as 'puya chitensis' has been at the garden for fifteen years, and has reached a height of ten feet with a razor sharp hook shaped spines. It uses the spines to ensnare the sheep and other small animals, after which the animal is left to starve to death,and its decomposed body nourishes the plant, acting as a very vital and powerful nourishing fertilizer.


4). ELECTRICITY IMPLANT IN MAN TO BOOST PERFORMANCE.
The boundaries that separate man from machine continually dissolves as scientists continue to make head way in their course to better mankind in more ways than one. In September, a new class of implantable electronics that can carry out a designated task anywhere, from a few hours to several weeks before disappearing completely once it serves its purpose. The potential applications of this technology dubbed"transient electronics" by its creator John Rogers, are many and run in various varieties from vanishing biological implants to environmental friendly phones.
