A summary of this week's most recent science articles

• June 13 First room temp. Skyrmion bubbles Researchers have just announced a new method for creating magnetic skyrmion bubbles at room temperature. The bubbles, a physics phenomenon thought to be an option for more energy-efficient and compactELECTRONICS, can be created with simple equipment and common materials
• June 11 Planet atmosphere acts as sunscreen on blazing hot planet
• Scientists have developed a way of making soft materials, using a 3-D printer, with surface textures that can then be modified at will to be perfectly smooth, or rigid or bumpy, or even to have complex patterns that could be used to guide fluids.
• Saturns giant rings, created by collisions on the moon Phoebe are seen here in an artists's rendition showing how the dark rings appear in infrared
• As New Horizons approaches Pluto, it's moons are found to be tumbling chaotically
• Strange patterns discovered on Mercury include cliffs & ridges, defy explanation 
• June 10 Galaxy seems to not belong to galaxy cluster
• Ultracold molecules Experimental physicists have successfully cooled molecules in a gas of sodium potassium to a temperature of 500 nanokelvins -- just a hair above absolute zero, and over a million times colder than interstellar space. The researchers found that the ultracold molecules were relatively long-lived and stable, resisting reactive collisions with other molecules. The molecules also exhibited very strong dipole moments -- strong imbalances in electric charge within molecules that mediate magnet-like forces between molecules over large distances.
• Diseases linked to birth month
• June 9 Just add water: Engineers develop computer that operates on water droplets "Their goal is to design a new class of computers that can precisely control and manipulate physical matter." (Sciencedaily)
• June 8 Nano materials may replace ink, allow for printing logos only visible under electron microscope
• "Planets with volcanic activity are considered better candidates for life than worlds without such heated internal goings-on. Researchers have found a way to detect volcanic activity in the atmospheres of exoplanets when they transit, or pass in front of their host stars." (Sciencedaily)
• Most detailed view ever of star formation in distant universe "The new observations are far more detailed than those made using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, and reveal star-forming clumps in the galaxy equivalent to giant versions of the Orion Nebula." (Sciencedaily)
• Ancient algae found on tropical ice cap
