Science ranks the year’s scientific achievements – Swedish Radio

As usual, Science magazine ranked the year’s most significant scientific events. And it is perhaps not surprising to find a particular comet landing on the list.

It is Rosetta’s pursuit of the comet and Philaes amazing landing that has received the greatest scientific medially space this year, and the comet landing tops even the Science list of this year’s scientific achievements.

Another feat Science highlights are artificial DNA. Previously, researchers have created new wholly artificial base pairs of the DNA helix, but this year was the first time that artificial DNA came into a living organism.

Science also draws attention to the blood that leads to rejuvenation. Studies have shown that blood or blood components from a young mouse can rejuvenate muscles and brain of an old mouse.

The magazine also wants to emphasize that evolutionary biologists have described how it happened and how fast it went for dinosaurs to evolve to birds, and that robotic researchers have shown how robots can work to breast-fed in large groups without direct authority of any man.
