		<description><![CDATA[A team of biologists from Germany and the Czech Republic made a surprising discovery: domestic cows and wild deer apparently have the ability to sense Earth&#8217;s magnetic field. But the most surprising aspect of the work relies on the tools and methodology employed. No expensive high-tech devices or extenuating field trips were involved. This five-people [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A group of Israeli scientists have achieved the unthinkable when they germinated a 2,000 year-old seed of date palm. The seed, nicknamed Methuselah was found in the ruins of Herod&#8217;s palace, and after 26 months, it grew into a 1.2 metres tall plant.
Now the world&#8217;s oldest successful germination, Methuselah was found in the 60&#8217;s in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Engineers the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created a composite of paper with nanothreads completely waterproof and has an extraordinary ability to absorb hydrophobic materials (like oil). According to its creators, this &#8220;supertowel&#8221; is capable of absorbing 20 times its weight in oil, so their most immediate application might be to minimize the effect [...]]]></description>
