• A screen grab from 'Boom Blox,' a game developed by Steven Spielberg and Electronic Arts for the Nintendo Wii.
• April 7: Brad Crain, president of BioSafe Engineering, stands by one of the company's steel cylinders in Brownsburg, Ind. Since they first walked the planet, humans have either buried or burned their dead. Now a new option using one of these cyclinders is generating interest: dissolving bodies.
• An artist's illustration of how Earth's skies may have looked billions of years ago. NASA scientists theorized that the planetary collision that created the current Moon soon after the Earth's creation probably threw up enough debris to form two smaller satellites at specific stable points in the Earth-Moon gravitational system, each of which could have stayed in orbit for hundreds of millions of years.
• May 8: Britain's Prince William, center, plays a game on a Nintendo Wii with Martyn James, right, during a visit to the Valleys Kids Project at the Pen Dinas Flats, in Dinas in the Rhondda Valley, Wales. On a tour of the project, which works with disadvantaged children and families in the South Wales Valleys, the Prince was introduced to both children and volunteers.
• May 8: An Australian platypus swims around in search for food at Taronga zoo in Sydney, Australia. Scientists have mapped the genetic makeup of the duck-billed platypus -- one of nature's strangest-looking animals with the beak of a duck, the fur of a mammal and the venom of a snake -- and found its DNA has elements of mammals, reptiles and birds all at once.
• An 8-month-old koala joey, left, clings to his mother, Adori, at Sydney's Taronga Zoo, as she perches in her tree while eating fresh eucalyptus leaves in a June 2006 file photo. A researcher says koala numbers are under threat from carbon pollution in the atmosphere because the greenhouse gas saps nutrients from eucalyptus leaves, which are the animals' only source of food.
• St. Mark's United Methodist Church in Rockville Centre, N.Y. The church's arrangement to lease space in the bell tower to a cellular-service provider's antenna is being opposed by neighbors, who are worried about health and safety hazards, as well as declining property values.
• April 29: A customer plunks down four twenties to purchase 'Grand Theft Auto IV' at a Best Buy store in Mountain View, Calif. The video game raked in more than $500 million in its first week in stores, selling more than 6 million units worldwide, said the video game's publisher, Take-Two Interactive Software Inc.
• The space of two-note chords, as it is embedded in the infinite-dimensional space containing chords with any number of notes. The two-note chords form a Moebius strip. This figure has been studied by a number of mathematicians, who did not realize that it had a straightforward musical interpretation.
• May 4: The carcasses of four Grand Cayman blue iguanas lie on the grounds of a breeding preserve shortly after they were found dead, on Grand Cayman Island. Authorities said that five of the critically endangered lizards were found scattered across a tropical breeding park after evidently being repeatedly stomped on and gouged.
• A bottle of a popular Czech brand of modern absinthe. Scientists analyzed preserved bottles of pre-World War I absinthe to see what gave it its legendary mind-warping powers, only to discover it was the fact that the liqueur was 140 proof.
• A portion of the stem and flowers of a newly rediscovered parasitic plant in its natural habitat in the state of Guerrero, Mexico.
• April 29: Hewlett-Packard senior fellow Stan Williams, left, and research physicist Duncan Stewart, right, discuss their nanotechnolgy research on a monitor at HP Labs in Palo Alto, Calif. Williams and his team were able to create something called a 'memristor,' which is an new elusive fourth element in electronic circuitry that stores information. It's useful because it remembers data even when the device is turned off, which means it works like a computer memory chip but in far less surface area and using far less power.
• An adult bison and her calf in Yellowstone National Park. Researchers think massive herds of bison could roam the Great Plains once again by the end of this century.
• These two side-by-side views show the longest-lived electrical storm yet observed on Saturn by NASA's Cassini spacecraft. On the left is a view of the storm as it would look to the human eye, while an enhanced version to bring out the storm is at right.
• An artist's illustration of Parathropus boisei biting into his favorite type of food. Despite the long-standing nickname of 'Nutcracker Man,' bestowed upon him because of his massive molars, closer analysis of his teeth reveals this possible human ancestor preferred to eat fruit.
• The greater bulldog bat (Noctilio leporinus). Each bat was photographed multiple times and stitched together into a single picture, to better envision how they move while they hunt. The bats were recently found to emit squeaks of 140 decibels, 100 times louder than a very loud rock concert.
• A 'Star Trek' tricorder, left, and at right an image from a medical scanner of a simulated breast tumor displayed on a cell phone screen. Medical scanners plugged into cell phones could help detect cancer and other disorders.
• A computer animation of a thermonuclear explosion as it engulfs an entire neutron star. Astronomers discovered a neutron star that 'counts down' to such an explosion several times per day.
• An Australian wasp mates with an orchid to the point of ejaculation. The orchids pretend they're female wasps in order to dust the male wasps' bodies with pollen.
