You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I'm guessing you just want some of the other major things going on...here are a few of my favorites.
Large Hadron Collider - http://lhc.web.cern.ch/lhc/
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/science/sciencenews/3351245/Large-Hadron-Collider-Particle-accelerator-to-recreate-birth-of-universe.html
"And those creatures have come up with a colossal achievement. Within the LHC's circular tunnel, 27km in circumference, beams of protons will be accelerated to up to 99.999999 per cent of the speed of light.
When they smash together, they will generate concentrations of energy resembling those that occurred during the first trillionth of a second after the Big Bang (without, of course, the explosive consequences)."
SETI - http://www.seti.org
"SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, is an exploratory science that seeks evidence of life in the universe by looking for some signature of its technology. Our current understanding of life’s origin on Earth suggests that given a suitable environment and sufficient time, life will develop on other planets. Whether evolution will give rise to intelligent, technological civilizations is open to speculation. However, such a civilization could be detected across interstellar distances, and may actually offer our best opportunity for discovering extraterrestrial life in the near future."
Human Genome Project - http://www.ornl.gov/sci/techresources/Human_Genome/home.shtml
"Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project (HGP) was a 13-year project coordinated by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health. During the early years of the HGP, the Wellcome Trust (U.K.) became a major partner; additional contributions came from Japan, France, Germany, China, and others. See our history page for more information.
Project goals were to
* identify all the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA,
* determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA,
* store this information in databases,
* improve tools for data analysis,
* transfer related technologies to the private sector, and
* address the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project. "
