http://scienceontop.com/255

Have scientists really discovered a new continent under New Zealand? Well, sort of! 
Bad body odour could be treated by a bacteria transplant from someone with less offensive armpits! 
The malaria parasite could be making your blood attractive to mosquitoes. 
By combining multiple datasets, astronomers have developed a more accurate idea about how fast our sun orbits the centre of our galaxy. It's pretty fast.
