		<title>Stanford nanowire battery produces 10x more electricity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[via Stanford News Service

Stanford researchers have found a way to use silicon nanowires to reinvent the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that power laptops, iPods, video cameras, cell phones, and countless other devices.

The new version, developed through research led by Yi Cui, assistant professor of materials science and engineering, produces 10 times the amount of electricity of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Synthetic DNA on the Brink of Yielding New Life Forms</title>
		<description><![CDATA[via Washington Post
It has been 50 years since scientists first created DNA in a test tube, stitching ordinary chemical ingredients together to make life&#8217;s most extraordinary molecule. Until recently, however, even the most sophisticated laboratories could make only small snippets of DNA &#8212; an extra gene or two to be inserted into corn plants, for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Organ Printing Creates Beating Heart Cells</title>
		<description><![CDATA[via Wired
A Missouri professor took several types of chicken heart cells and 3D printed them into large sheets with cell-friendly gel. The cells took over from there, sorting themselves into working order. Then they began beating, just as a heart would.
