A US lab has just 3D-printed a working human heart pump from human cells. This isn’t the first time they’ve tried to do something like this – though in the past they weren’t able to get the human heart muscle cells to work due to problems with cell density. Find out more here>>
A team of US scientists will be exploring a mysterious blue sinkhole located in Florida called ‘Green Banana’. The blue holes only open up in the sea, making them more difficult to explore and understand than land sinkholes. They will be searching for any biological communities including corals, sea turtles, and sharks. Find out more>>

Marine biologist Karen Osborn was out with her colleagues photographing deep-sea fish and came across an ultra-black fish. This fish disappeared into just an outline when she would try to take photos – even with it being exposed to two strobe lights. Researchers have found out that one of the species found can absorb 99.956 % of the light it encounters. Find out more here>>
NASA is set to launch its self-driving car on Mars later this month. The car will be able to collect and store various samples – it may even pick up evidence of extra-terrestrial life! Find out more here>>
Scientists have created tiny organs to determine if a pharmaceutical product is dangerous to the human body or not. This will support efforts to end or reduce the amount of animal testing that currently takes place in the pharmaceutical industry. Find out more here>>
