Researchers have made a discovery that could provide new insights into how superconductors might move energy more efficiently to power homes, industries and vehicles. Their work showed that graphene — a material composed of a single layer of carbon atoms — is more likely to become a superconductor than originally thought possible.

Drawing on lessons learned from studies on a variety of marine animals outfitted with sensors, researchers in a new perspective article describe how an 'internet of health' could revolutionize human medicine.

It’s many years ago, and this pilot fish regularly travels to company offices around the country, dealing with IT-related problems and running user training sessions.
The big current project is implementing internet filtering after complaints that some workers are viewing inappropriate websites. So fish has to head to a meeting with many directors and managers to demonstrate.
Upon arriving at the meeting site, fish sets up a laptop and projector and connects it to the internal network. Then he tests to make sure the filtering is working, calling up a blocked site that, if it does display, only shows a silhouette of a bunny with a bow tie.
But not to worry: The site is blocked, so everything is ready.

Programmer pilot fish goes online to a message board for a development system that’s used for one of his company’s applications.
But he gets a message that the site is blocked. He can either forget about it, click a link to continue, or click a link to see the company’s access policy.
He clicks to continue, gets what he needs, and then, just out of curiosity, he clicks to see the access policy to get an idea of why this site is being blocked.
But instead of seeing the access policy, fish sees this message: Content blocked. Click here to access our internet resource policy.
Sputters baffled fish, “It actually blocked the policy!”
