The behaviour of a stone-throwing chimpanzee at an animal park in Sweden has led scientists to conclude that future planning is not a uniquely human trait. Santino, a 30-year-old male chimpanzee at Furuvik Animal Park, is at the centre of a study published in the journal Current Biology about animals' ability to envisage future events and make up plans on how to deal with them. Johnny Persson, who is the head of the animals at the animal park where Santino has lived since he was five, said they had first noticed Santino's unique behaviour in the 1990s.

NASA has revealed plumes of methane gas seeping from the surface of the Red Planet. The presence of the gas strongly suggests that living biology exists or has existed. On Earth, 90 per cent of methane is produced by living organisms. And while volcanos do account for some of Earth's methane, no volcanos have been spotted on Mars. One explanation could be the reaction of Martian rocks and water which may release methane in a process called serpentinisation. Scientists will be able to determine traces of life either way when a new Mars rover is launched in 2011.

What do you get when you combine a capacitor, some LEDs, and a solar cell? A B.E.A.M. Bug Bot! B.E.A.M. stands for Biology Electronics Aesthetics Mechanics which means that the robots are inspired by biology which means bugs.
