New ways to suck up methane can buy us vital time in the climate fight
Scientists say that the planet will not start to cool down until the middle of the century to release its mineral oil, but reducing methane emissions could make a huge difference in the short term, buying the planet an important time. . Methane emissions have a shorter shelf life - about 12 years, compared to hundreds of years of carbon dioxide before decay - so efforts to reduce methane levels will be faster than carbon dioxide emissions. Climate scientists say methane levels will drop faster than carbon dioxide emissions, which help achieve zero emissions by 2050.

Automated chemistry: The machines that can discover new drugs
Lee Cronin of the University of Glasgow in the UK has a very ambitious plan to use chemistry in a way that anyone can do chemistry. Lee Cronin and his colleagues described their mechanical ability to produce more molecules last year and have now taken the second major step in making digital chemistry an affordable way to design a machine. Alessandra Toniato of IBM's international technology center in Zurich, Switzerland, says her RoboRXN equipment can be useful for people who want to build new molecules but do not have the tools. The IBM RoboRXN international technology kit uses a machine-learning algorithm to help improve the integration of 3 million cells that work against a chemical reaction training site.

Silkworms make fluorescent silk after eating quantum dots
Fluorescent silkworm silk is obtained by combining green, yellow, red, and near dots with infrared fluorescent. Chu and Liu demonstrated a novel way of making fluorescent silkworm silk by combining semiconductor nanocrystalline quantum dots (QDs) into silk by electrostatic absorption using a polyelectrolyte (PE) fixative (Chu and Liu, 2008).

Russia’s City 40, graveyard of the Earth
Ozersk, codenamed City 40, was the motherland of the Soviet nuclear munitions program. Now it's one of the world’s most polluted places, but numerous of its residers continue to see it as a paradise, director Samira Goetschel writes. Deep in the vast timbers of Russia’s Ural Mountains lies the interdicted megacity of Ozersk. Behind guarded gates and acerbic lines, walls stand a beautiful riddle – a narcotic place that seems to live in a different dimension. Codenamed City 40, Ozersk was the motherland of the Soviet nuclear munitions program after the alternate world war. For decades, this megacity of people didn't appear on any charts, and its occupants’ individualities were canceled from the Soviet tale. Moment, with its beautiful lakes, scented flowers, and graphic tree-lined thoroughfares, Ozersk resembles a suburban 1950s American city – like one of those too-perfect places depicted in The Twilight Zone.

I was excited to move into our beautiful apartment, across the street from a quaint little park and a moment's walk from the “Kiss and Ride” metro station. I looked forward to window shopping on King Street, quick trips to D.C., and endless new eateries to discover.
