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.

Might conventional wisdom on nutrition be completely wrong...
1 FaverViewed: 18 TimesQuoted: Modern diets rich in starch/sugar/fructose and polyunsaturated fats (omega-6 oils), and deficient in saturated fats and omega-3 oils produce the chronic inflammation that forms the foundation of most diseases. Vegetable oils, such as corn, soy or safflower oils are inflammatory and should be eliminated from our kitchens. We should only use olive oil, butter or lard. Saturated fats from meat, dairy and eggs are healthier than polyunsaturated vegetable oils.
