Club Red, a heart health initiative for women sponsored by the University’s Heart Center, is hosting activities this February in recognition of Heart Disease Awareness Month. Club Red is an online community with more than 6,000 members that aims to increase awareness about the factors and symptoms of heart disease.

Russia sent a probe to gather soil on Phobos, the largest moon on Mars, earlier this month. Hours after its Nov. 9 lanuch, however, the spacecraft, set to return to Earth by 2014, became stuck in Earth's orbit when its engine failed to fire. The engine of the probe was designed to fire twice: once to leave Earth's orbit and again to set its route to Mars. But the probe was left in a standstill, circling Earth.

After analyzing more than 300 skulls, researchers have concluded there is a correlation between a society's type of economy and its members jawbone shape. A study published last week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests there is a significant difference between the jawbones of hunting versus agricultural populations. Anthropologist Noreen von Cramon-Taubadel examined skulls from 11 different populations and was able to compare those who ate food based on a hunting and gathering lifestyle with those whose diet was based on agriculture. Data showed that hunter-gatherers overall had longer, narrower jawbones, giving the population enough room to accommodate wisdom teeth. These molars were useful for breaking down hard substances during intense chewing.

Breakthrough stem cell research at Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, Calif. has the potential to revive endangered species. Researchers at the Center for Regenerative Medicine are aiming to turn stem cells into gametes. Once new eggs and sperm are created, "test tube babies" can be born, possibly preserving a species.

Researchers at the Technical University in Munich have created a microchip sensor which is able to monitor tumor growth based on oxygen saturation. Electrodes on the sensor record oxygen levels. Implanted near the tumor itself, the microchip will be able to reduce hospital visits by sending collected data directly to doctors wirelessly through an external unit.

After five years and 335 experimental trials, a new milestone in the study of antimatter has been reached. Ever since the early 20th century, scientists have postulated that antimatter existed at the start of the universe. Antimatter is made up of partner particles to existing matter, whose sole difference from the particles in regular matter is charge.

What: A femtosecond laser camera captures images around the corner. Without being in direct line of sight, this camera composes images using reflected light. Light waves are gathered and algorithms implemented to develop the picture as if it were 3-D, using pixels.
