Postcards from the Interwebs - 22 Jan 2013

Its been a while and I've been accumulating web links so here they are:

Lasers used to make insulators conduct like a metal: Yes, its a mouthful and quite the topic to start off with but could be quite revolutionary. Useful for any electronic device.

Rivers on Titan and the remains of one on Mars: Discovering water or the remains of water on other worlds is not only mindbogglingly awesome but important if we want to visit other worlds or discover new life on them (cue Star Trek intro). The Mars rover has also been finding evidence of water in its journey.

Star Wars Wookie Jacket: I want one!

Map of California, for Movie studio shoots: From 1927, it shows where in California people can use to stand in for other parts of the world. Could be a cool road trip or the basis of a documentary.

Using sound for surgery: Not having to clean the tools can be very handy in regular and combat medicine. Unfortunately it could also be handy in combat. Maybe even a way to have light-sabers?

Robert Smalls, Civil war hero: I always get inspired when I read about people of our past who overcome extreme difficulties.

Times Square from above: Just a very cool picture.
