Postcard of the Interwebs - 11 April 2018

Nanowood for Insulating: Yup, wood designed to utilize its heat blocking properties but be 30 times stronger than conventional materials.

Empathy is Partly Inherited: Interesting but the study did say that more research and verification is necessary. Also the same study found that those who were genetically low in emphatic genes were high with autism genes.

Nanowire lasers make Micro-Fusion: Using microscopic ordered wires, a laser heats it up for efficient generation of neutrons.

Ultrasound Explanation at Cuban USA Embassy: A reasonable possibility on the cause of the ear damage to personnel working there.

Brain knows what having Five Fingers is like: Even without some of the fingers. Woman lost a hand and she felt a phantom limb. Then felt as if she had five fingers though she was never born with them. Her brain either already had ability to know she was supposed to have five fingers or developed it. Cool right!

Galaxy found without Dark Matter: The only one found so far that does not appear to possess it according to observational calculations.

Vegetables grown in Antarctica: No soil, no sunlight, and no pesticides! All in preparation for remote human habituation on Earth and elsewhere.
