Here are a few science stories I thought readers would find interesting or useful this week:

Figuring out the age of the mysterious Voynich manuscript
(this book sounds like something out of a fantasy novel, actually)

Microsponges from seaweed may save lives

Robots inspired by roaches


Enjoy your weekend!

  1. I wish they had shown a sample of the writing in that article on the manuscript.

    Very interesting.

    When I was at uni, one of my profs had us design our own alphabet. It kind of sounds that's what the author of this manuscript did too.
