Discover magazine's January 2008 issue reports what the magazine believes to be the top 100 science stories of 2007. It is well worth a read: number 7 is about Dark Matter, number 16 is about a huge hole discovered in space, number 38 is about a math advance in factoring that threatens computer security, number 39 is about the discovery that plants depend on the quantum nature of photons to perform photosynthesis, number 56 presents evidence that a fundamental part of calculus was developed in India 250 years before Newton, number 65 about physicists observing photon superposition collapse for first time, number 87 is about the discovery that bird's retinas have a molecule that respond to both light and magnetic fields, number 96 is about the discovery of the function of the appendix.
2007 was an interesting year in science!
