Accidental Discovery Dramatically Improves Electrical Conductivity - - iTech Post - 3 views

Oh those bloody physicists... someone forgot to turn off the lights and now they have a 400 times better conductive crystal. If science was always that easy, I would light a candle every day.

Apparently this was not the first discovery of this effect involving SrTiO3. In an article from 2012 a conductance increase of 5 orders in magnitude is described (http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/nn203991q). But indeed many large impact discoveries are accidental... -
I thought we all knew already that science is just another form of directed random search :)))

Sulfur Graphene Oxides for high performance #EV batteries #Berkeley - 0 views
-
Test cell reaches 500Wh/kg and about a 1000 cycles. Graphene is excellent to use as it can handle the thermal expansion during charge cycles which normally destroy the cathodes and thereby degrade performance over time.

This is seriously scary. Basically the only thing that hospitals could still help you with are broken arms and alcohol poisoning... :-\

And the scary part is antibiotics use for human medicine is dwarfed by antibiotics use in livestock, at least in most countries I think.

Nice animation to summarize the current over fishing problem. For example, I never knew that farm raised fish (like salmon) actually are carnivorous and 5kg of fish is needed to produce 1kg of this 'higher quality' fish.
