* Pot may be good and bad, researchers propose:
The truth about marijuana might be more complex than
either its opponents or its champions suggest, some
scientists argue.

* We're more genetically diverse than thought: study
Research has found that at least one in 10 human
genes vary in the number of copies of certain DNA
sequences.

* A step toward quantum computers:
Physicists say they've taken a step toward making
computers that work at blinding speeds thanks to the
weird realities of quantum physics.

* One cell makes almost any heart tissue, study
finds:
New research could be a stride forward for therapy
to rebuild hearts, but its use of embryonic cells
may stir controversy.

* Molecules may "anchor" memories in brain:
Our brains nail down memories by using special
proteins as anchors, a study suggests.

* Extreme black hole pushes spin "limit":
A black hole's blindingly fast rotation could help
explain some strange phenomena, physicists say.
