You've heard the overused phrase "breaking news." This is not breaking; it is close to broken.

The journal Science, the scientific journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, is conducting its annual scientific breakthrough of the year selection.

This is very short notice as you will see but if you can't vote in this round there is a second, next week. However, this will give you an idea of what the editors of this journal think are important breakthroughs.

Underneath the picture of each breakthrough there is a short description.. In addition, a clock ticks away letting you know how many days, hours and minutes there is left. The first votes are due Monday, December 2.
