- Positronium is a short-lived system in which an electron and its anti-particle are bound together. In 2007, physicists at the University of California, Riverside created molecular positronium in the laboratory. Now they have succeeded in isolating a sample of spin polarized positronium atoms. http://www.physorg.com/news191868695.html 18 comments science
- Throughout much of recorded history, humans have sought a stable and safe blue pigment. An accidental discovery in a laboratory at Oregon State University has created the world's newest, and possibly its best, blue pigment. http://labspaces.net/100657/accidental_discovery_produces_durable_new_blue_pigment_for_multiple_applications 157 comments science

- Lasers create table-top supernova: Laser beams 60,000 billion times more powerful than a laser pointer have been used to recreate scaled supernova explosions in the laboratory as a way of investigating one of the most energetic events in the Universe. http://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2014-06-02-lasers-create-table-top-supernova 31 comments science
- The Unlikely Ingredient That Could End US Dependence on Chinese Batteries. Batteries that use sodium instead of lithium could allow the US to create a completely new battery supply chain independent of China. A consortium of national laboratories and universities is working on this technology. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/the-unlikely-ingredient-that-could-end-u-s-dependence-on-chinese-batteries/ar-AA1wfMCy 75 comments energy
- Japanese researchers create a 'vaccine' against getting old - In laboratory trials, a drug targeting a protein contained in senescent cells - those which have naturally stopped reproducing themselves - slowed the progression of frailty in older mice, the researchers from Tokyo's Juntendo University https://www.euronews.com/next/2021/12/14/can-we-live-forever-new-anti-ageing-vaccine-could-bring-immortality-one-step-closer 28 comments futurology
- Researchers from Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have created the first-ever system of "designer electrons" exotic variants of ordinary electrons with tunable properties that may ultimately lead to new types of materials and devices. http://www.physorg.com/news/2012-03-molecular-graphene-heralds-era-electrons.html 4 comments science
