Quoted: n a blown-up image from a scanning tunneling microscope, it looks just like an endless sheet of chicken wire: a simple flat sheet made up of a lattice of hexagons. But this nanoscopic material called graphene, first generally acknowledged to exist just five years ago, turns out to have a variety of unique, and potentially very useful, characteristics -- ones several MIT researchers are actively trying to better understand and turn into real-world applications.

Might conventional wisdom on nutrition be completely wrong...
1 FaverViewed: 22 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.
