Astronomers Discover Potential Largest Black Hole in the Universe

Astronomers have discovered potentially the largest black hole in the universe, with a mass 36 billion times greater than that of the Sun. The cosmic giant is located in the constellation Leo, five billion light-years away from us.

Woman in Canada has tooth implanted in eye to regain sight

In Canada, a woman had a tooth implanted in her eye so she could see again. Seventy-five-year-old Gail Lane had been completely blind for many years due to an autoimmune disease that left scars on the corneas of her eyes. To restore her vision, she underwent the rarest of surgeries, osteo-odonto keratoprosthesis (literally 'tooth in eye'). The procedure is extremely peculiar: The patient had her own tooth extracted; this tooth was implanted into her cheek for several months to allow connective tissue to grow around it; then a hole was drilled into the tooth in which a tiny optical lens was inserted; the resulting bio-implant was transplanted into the woman's eye, replacing her damaged cornea. After the surgery, vision began to gradually return: Lane initially saw light, then movement, followed by outlines and colors. Months later, she was able to make out people's faces, including her husband's face, which she had never seen before.

Scientists Identify Genetic Predisposition to Chronic Fatigue

Scientists have determined that chronic fatigue can be hereditary. Research has shown the presence of 17 mutations associated with the development of chronic fatigue syndrome, and that genetic predisposition increases the risk by about 40%.
