An interesting “what if” scenario:

WHAT IF other planetary bodies orbited our world at the same distance as the moon?

Graphene arerogels for insulation.

Graphene Aerogel
— Lightest Solid Material Ever Developed

Because aerogels are porous they are ultra-light materials and this one is 100 times lighter than Polystyrene foam cups and can help clean up pollutants like toluene and crude oil (other oils as well) and other compounds like ethanol. Researchers are planning  to look at the materials ability for insulating and sound proofing in the future.

Previous records for lightest materials were 0.9 milligrams per cubic centimeter in 2011, 0.18 mg/cm3 in 2012, and now this material at 0.16 mg/cm3.

3D gun blueprints downloaded 100,000 times before U.S. State Department orders removal from Web

The blueprints for a plastic gun made with a 3D printer have been removed from a Texas-based defence website at the request of the U.S. State Department, but not before they were downloaded at least 100,000 times.

Defense Distributed, a non-profit organization that aims to defend the rights of citizens across the world to have access to arms, posted a note on Twitter confirming their project had “gone dark.” (YouTube/Defense Distributed)
