Inspirational and good news.
Scientists have discovered a way that allows solar power cells to be sprayed on to most any surface and produce power even on a cloudy day!
The plastic material uses nanotechnology and contains the first solar cells able to harness the sun’s invisible, infrared rays. The breakthrough has led theorists to predict that plastic solar cells could one day become five times more efficient than current solar cell technology.
This is a huge advancement; yeah for renewable resources!
Just a friendly reminder that our next meet-up is next Tuesday. Show up anytime after 8pm at the Embassy in Kensington market.

Hope to see you there!
With no guns to fire and no cars to steal, you would think that Food Force wouldn’t be a very popular video game in today’s market. But after it launched on Yahoo Games last spring, it quickly became the most popular free game on the site, racking up 1 million downloads over the first two months.
Created by the United Nations World Food Programme, Food Force is made up of six stages, each one built around a certain aspect of the emergency food program’s operations.
Thanks, Justin!
A device that can fit on the top of a table can be used to create nuclear fusion! Researchers at The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have provided confirmation of an early attempt at room temperature fusion that came from UCLA, while making the design of the device better.
“The device, which uses two opposing crystals to generate a powerful electric field, could potentially lead to a portable, battery-operated neutron generator for a variety of applications, from non-destructive testing to detecting explosives and scanning luggage at airports.”
Thanks, Austin!
For the first time since King Tut’s tomb was found in 1922, an untouched tomb has been found. Inside were found five mummies. The mummies were in sarcophagi dating from the 18th Dynasty, from 1567 BC to 1320 BC.
According to the director of the dig, “This cache is important because it will tell us what the Valley of the Kings was really like.”
