Summary: Scientists have created the world's smallest movie. Using only atoms as pixels, they have created a short story about a boy and his toy. Though this seems trivial, it demonstrates the control scientists have over individual atoms in a creative way.

28 neutrinos spotted!
Summary: Scientists working on the IceCube experiment have successfully identified 28 neutrinos of, what looks to be, cosmic origin. These have energies far greater than is possible at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
As predicted in the 1950s when neutrinos were first discovered, this could lead to a new way of studying the night sky using particles rather than wavelengths.

Dark Matter article
This month's (May) Discover magazine has a fantastic article on the history of Dark Matter, what we know know, and what is planned in the future. It's a great read for anyone who is interested.
Intelligent paper
Summary: US scientists have developed smart paper. This paper, embedded with RFID (radio frequency identification), could be used to track important documents such as bank notes or used for faster scanning of concert tickets.
Maybe this is getting us one step closer to physic paper.
