Carbon nanotubes used to create a flame-retardant coating for furniture

According to the US National Fire Protection Association, nearly 20 percent of home fire deaths between 2006 and 2010 occurred in fires where upholstered furniture was the first item to ignite. It's actually not so much the exterior fabric that burns, as it is the foam beneath it. With that in mind, scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used carbon nanotubes to create a coating for that foam, that reduces its flammability by 35 percent."

Graphene-based solar cell hits record 15.6 percent efficiency

Graphene-based solar cell hits record 15.6 percent efficiency: "In 2012, researchers from the University of Florida reported a record efficiency of 8.6 percent for a prototype solar cell consisting of a wafer of silicon coated with a layer of graphene doped with trifluoromethanesulfonyl-amide (TFSA). Now another team is claiming a new record efficiency of 15.6 percent for a graphene-based solar cell by ditching the silicon all together."

How To Make A Magical VineUsing Stop Motion | Photojojo: "When we first saw Matt Willis of yelldesign’s flawless stop motion Vine videos, we thought, “How in the world does he even…?”

So we asked him … AND HE TOLD US!

It turns out he doesn’t use any fancy apps or software or even voodoo. He just uses Vine, his phone and know-how.

He was kind enough to share his know-how with us and you too!

Matt gave us step by step instructions on how to make an apple disappear into a tabletop (and how to pull it back out again). No magic required."
