Launch of an exploratory Priority Research Programme and Equipment for data storage on DNA
The quantity of data stored worldwide is estimated to increase to 175 zettabytes 2 by 2025. If we were to store this data on Blu-ray discs, it would require 23 stacks from the Earth and the Moon.

What lies behind a baby’s eyes
The way babies look at the world is a great mystery. What do they really see? What information do they get from seeing? One might think they look at things that stand out the most-by virtue of size or colour, for example.

Among wild mammals too, females live longer
In all human populations, average lifespans are longer for women than for men. Moreover, nine out of ten supercentenarians-that is, people 110 years old and up-are women.
