By: Miriam Kramer Published: 03/29/2013 10:54 AM EDT on SPACE.com Scientists may have discovered the first meteorite from Mercury. The green rock found in Morocco last year may be the first known visitor from the solar system's innermost planet, according to meteorite scientist Anthony Irving, who unveiled the new findings this month at the 44th annual Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in The Woodlands, Texas. The study suggests that a space rock called NWA 7325 came from Mercury, and not an asteroid or Mars. NWA 7325 is actually a group of 35 meteorite samples discovered in 2012 in Morocco. - 6 hours, 20 minutes

In a scene straight out of the 1958 horror flick "The Blob," a new YouTube clip shows a lump of magnetic silly putty completely engulfing a magnet. The event, captured by YouTube user Scott Lawson, actually took an hour and a half, but luckily we're treated to a time-lapse view. - 1 day, 4 hours
And you thought it was all about the neurons. In an experiment that might seem like something only a mad scientist would conjure, researchers injected human brain cells into the brains of mice to see how it would affect the way the mice thought. It did: the mice got smarter. [...] - 1 day, 6 hours
Human cells have an intrinsic capacity to destroy HIV. However, the virus has evolved to contain a gene that blocks this ability. When this gene is removed from the virus, the innate human immune system destroys HIV by mutating it to the point where it can no longer survive. This phenomenon has been shown in test tube laboratory experiments, but now researchers have demonstrated the same phenomenon in a humanized mouse model, suggesting a promising new target for tackling the virus. - 1 day, 8 hours

Researchers at Stanford University announced this week that they've created genetic receptors that can act as a sort of "biological computer," potentially revolutionizing how diseases are treated. In a paper published in the journal "Science" on Friday, the team described their system of genetic transistors, which can be inserted into living cells and turned on and off if certain conditions are met. - 1 day, 18 hours
Bioengineers at Stanford University have created the first biological transistor made from genetic materials: DNA and RNA. We are now tantalizingly close to biological computers that can detect changes in a cell's environment, store a record of that change in memory made of DNA, and then trigger some kind of response -- say, commanding a cell to stop producing insulin, or to self-destruct if cancer is detected. - 1 day, 21 hours
