After a long lack of postcards, I will attempt to make up for it in the next month.
Nokia to Power Cell Phones using Ambient Energy: An old article from 2009 but one that could have many other benefits for numerous technologies. Watches, eReaders and anything that uses low power can benefit. Also brain implants as seen here.
Upsalite, a Super Absorbent Material: Made of amorphous magnesium carbonate, this new substance has lots of Hazmat cleanup uses and perhaps even for oil spills.
Huge Pandora Viruses: Having just 7% of the genes in existing databases, these large viruses are giving thought to the expansion of the variety of life on our own planet.
How almost every Country in the World is in Debt: An excellent explanation of this concept and how money lent can provide more than interest back.
How Science can Predict the Sun Flipping Magnetic Poles: I saved this several months ago in my favorites and looked to check if it occurred today. It did! Not only does this occur every 11 years but when it happens it affects how cosmic rays interact with our solar system and space weather but is very cool. It was quite late this cycle but still cool.
A man, his map and an Imagination: Wow. I know I have hobbies I enjoy doing but this guy has a passion. Not only did he create a super huge map of various counties and infrastructure but he continually changes it as one thing affects another as time progresses, with random pics of playing cards. You can watch the full documentary here. Its under 10 minutes. Such an imagination and analytical at the same time.
Visit the TARDIS in Google Maps: An awesome little Easter egg for Doctor Who fans.
