‘Group of Death’ enters critical phase – World T20

(AFP) – Defending champions West Indies and Australia face off in a do-or-die clash in Dhaka on Friday as action resumes in group two of the World Twenty20 Super-10s after a two-day break. India lead what is billed as the “group of death” with two consecutive wins, while Australia, the West Indies, Pakistan and hosts Bangladesh have lost a game each. Three wins in four games will not guarantee a team one of the two semi-final places from the group, but two defeats will almost certainly hasten an early exit. George Bailey’s Australians, seeking a maiden World T20 title after winning...

Something called the Advanced Tissue-engineered Human Ectypal Network Analyzer (ATHENA) project probably sounds like a secret weapon being developed by S.H.I.E.L.D. But in fact, it’s a project being developed here in the real would that could change the way new drugs and toxic agents are screened. Led by researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Athena project aims to create mini versions of four artificial organs — liver, lung, heart, and kidney — that can be connected inside a fake torso. Each organ will be about the size of a smartphone screen, according to LANL, and be connected...

Discovery of a new dwarf planet at the edge of our solar system

Scientists have spotted a new dwarf planet at the edge of our solar system. It’s a kind of pink ice ball that’s way out there, far beyond Pluto. Astronomers used to think this area of space was a no man’s land. But the new discoveries suggest that it holds many small worlds — and there are even hints of an unseen planet bigger than Earth. “We used to think there’s just not much out there.

Satellite data has confirmed Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 carrying 239 people crashed into the southern Indian Ocean.
