Science of the Week, 6/13/14

I was on a business trip earlier this week and couldn't log in to Blogger/Google, so since I didn't have a pre-scheduled post for Wednesday, I wasn't able to put something up. Sorry about that. Admittedly, I wasn't sure what I was going to discuss anyway. Does anyone have any suggestions about a topic you'd like to see me blog about? It could be writing tips, something about one of my stories, or something else. Please let me know in the comments.

Here are some of the most interesting science news articles I read this week:

A computer has passed the Turing Test for the first time

A new way to make laser-like beams using 250x less power

Genes found in nature yield 1918-like virus with pandemic potential

Oh great: Mayo Clinic researchers discover new form of cancer

Charging portable electronics in 10 minutes

  1. Pink Floyd wasn't involved? I'm crushed.
    Blog about something fun, Sandra! Something that ties to or influences your writing but isn't writing or a book.
