Some 230 years ago, three London gentlemen walked into a room with a few eggs, a steak and a dog, and then cranked up the heat. Their goal? To find out how much heat a body could stand. The fabulous animator Lev Yilmaz, author of the comic series Tales of Mere Existence, tells the story. (Click to see cartoon). - NPR.org

Dear HeroesL What happened? Villains marked an all time low in your ratings, and lost you a significant portion of your core audience (myself included). You broke my heart, Heroes. Fugitives won me back in much the same way your ex does when he or she promises to reform, to be better and try harder. But the make-up sex just wasn't that great. Heroes, if you really want to win me back, here's what you have to do. - IO9.com

An interesting article about the discovery of a new type of electrical device. Based on the equations relating charge and magnetism, Leon Chua deduced that the mathematics of electric circuits was missing an element (one that directly relates charge to magnetic flux) - he dubbed the missing element a memristor.
Now scientists believe they have found a physical device that has this effect ... at nanoscales. The device could have some amazing applications for computation.
