- Title
News in brief.
- Abstract
The article presents news briefs related to science and technology. It reports that astronomers have found the smallest planet outside the Solar System, weighing in at just seven-and-a-half times the mass of Earth. Its discoverers say that the planet is likely to be rocky, rather than a gas giant like Jupiter. A new study reveals that an international system is needed to protect the oceans from damage by bioprospecting. The article further presents information on Italian fertility laws, world's largest radio telescopes, and others.
