The largest virus yet discovered - bigger than some bacteria - is isolated from sea water pulled up off the coast of Chile. Called Megavirus chilensis, it is 10 to 20 times wider than the average virus. It just beats the previous record holder, Mimivirus, which was found in a water cooling tower in the UK in 1992. The particle measures about 0.7 micrometres (thousandths of a millimetre) in diameter and you don't need an electron microscope to see it; you can see it with an ordinary light microscope.

Its official - climate change is human-caused
Having exhausted all other possible causes, Melbourne University researchers conclude that the dramatic increase in local temperatures over the past 60 years can only be human-caused. A team of over 30 paleoclimatologists has spent the past decade examining natural records of climate including recent geologically preserved sites along with written records (eg newspapers) and other data (corals, tree rings and Antarctic ice cores amongst many others) to construct a detailed view of climate changes in the Australasian region over the past 1000 years.

Brain scientists are now developing a thorough understanding of the specialized circuits that distinguish faces. In the process, they have discovered the inability to recognize familiar faces, called prosopagnosia, may be far more common than once thought.
