Science News has a good article for 7 science discoveries this past year that could become BIG DEALS, should additional work confirm and strengthen them. Have fun with it, and remember that in science research, replication and independent confirmation of one's work is a necessity before the scientific community will begin to put real weight behind the discovery.
Science is an organic, always evolving process that attempts to figure out how the world and universe work, based on physical evidence and observations, and we shouldn't want to take a single study's conclusions as 'fact' without independent studies and confirmations.
