Researchers Make Nanosized, Softball Shaped Dodecahedron From DNA

For quite some time, DNA, the stuff our genes are made of, has also been considered the building material of choice for nanoscale objects. A nanotechnology research team has now made a dodecahedron (a geometric shape with twelve surfaces) from DNA building blocks.

Sandia Researchers Test Lithium Ion Batteries to the Limit to See How Much Abuse They Can Take

Researchers in the Power Sources R&D group at Sandia National Laboratories have been driving nails into batteries, heating them to extreme temperatures, overcharging them, and putting them into some of the most adverse conditions possible to see how much abuse they can take before they blow up. And for certain types of lithium-ion batteries the answer is a lot.
