Computers keep getting smaller thanks to continued shrinking of chips and other microcomponents, but batteries necessary to operate them remain pretty clunky in comparison, and thus they add considerable weight to any product &#8212; the largest portion of my laptop&#8217;s weight is due to the battery. It&#8217;s just the latest chapter in mankind&#8217;s quest for the perfect power source.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/science\">science<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/electronics\">electronics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/physics\">physics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/history\">history<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/blogs\">blogs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/cocktail-party\">cocktail-party<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/materials\">materials<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/energy\">energy<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/wiredscience\/2009\/11\/oldest-web\/\">Oldest Preserved Spider Web Dates Back to Dinosaurs | Wired Science | Wired.com<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&#8220;Scientists found the rare amber fossil in December, and have now confirmed that it contains remnants of spider silk spun roughly 140 million years ago by an ancestor of modern orb-weaving spiders. After slicing the amber into thin sections and examining each piece under a high-powered microscope, the researchers discovered that the ancient silk threads share several features common to modern spider webs, including droplets of sticky glue used to hold the web together and capture prey.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/science\">science<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/dinosaurs\">dinosaurs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/biology\">biology<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.particlefever.com\/story.html\">Particle Fever<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&#8220;Designed to smash trillions of protons together at nearly the speed of light, the LHC will recreate the extreme conditions that existed a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. The stakes are enormous. What the LHC reveals could change our understanding of everything. Failure could leave us in the dark for generations to come. The documentary feature, Particle Fever, captures this unfolding drama by focusing on the personal stories of several of its key figures &#8211; passionate, funny, brilliant spirits standing at the threshold of discovery. These modern adventurers have faced impossible technical challenges, risked careers, sacrificed personal relationships and continually struggled with government support in their single-minded quest to understand the nature of the universe.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/science\">science<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/physics\">physics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/particles\">particles<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/movies\">movies<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/loldwell.com\/?p=104\">LOLDWELL.com \u00c2\u00bb Archive \u00c2\u00bb Advice for Art Majors<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&#8220;This flowchart should help any potential artists to determine their place in the creative world without any unnecessary existential pondering.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/art\">art<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/humanities\">humanities<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/silly\">silly<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/comics\">comics<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mid-Majority : The Old Ways &#8220;Once the Union was preserved forever, the United States stopped worrying splitting into two.
