Postcard of the Interwebs - 22 Oct 2014

Life Exists in Space: Iso-Propyl Cyanide, a life giving molecule, has been found in a nebula nearby. Vinyl alcohol and ethyl formate have also been detected in space but this larger molecule gives more weight to the argument that life can exist outside of Earth.

WW1 Week by Week: An ambitious project with a an under 10 minute video for each week of WW1.

Cheap Hydrogen Fuel from Common Materiels and Sunlight: Using perovskite and common materials, EPFL laboratories have made a much cheaper solar cell.

Solar cell Coupled with a Battery: From Ohio state university, comes another solar stride forward in solar technology. Since the battery and solar panel are so tied to one another there is a lot less energy loss. A very novel way of using the sun, with titanium "grass".

Atlas Obscura: Very cool and quirky website of odd and interesting things and places.

Hybrid Solar Materiels using Inorganic and Organic Substances: This University of Cambridge development could mean that there may be a revolution in solar technology using the methods they have researched.

New Bone Grafting Methods extremely decrease Recovery Time:The use of PTCy combined with IV Bu/Flu myeloablative conditioning (no idea what these are but the effect is what is cool), reduces recovery time and reduces rejection of the graft.
