News Check

Okay so since my interview is tomorrow but I really already prepared for it when I thought I was going to have an interview yesterday all that's left to do it a last minute news check. Anything could have happened since I checked it in a study period this morning! They could have confirmed the presence of the Higgs field or found living organisms in that mars meteorite or found a way to have superconductors at room temperatures.

Well there's nothing quite that exciting... I found out that they have used 3D printers to make an artificial jaw though! I heard about this in the Steven Hawking's a brave new world programme where they can use a computer to design the exact details of an object an the computer builds the image a layer at a time. Its really good because it can make things lighter, its more economical as there isn't waste from cutting bits away and it is very precise which is particularly important for the jaw in this case. In the article that it also means less time in hospital and make it easier to get used to a new jaw.

This isn't brand new but I found it strange that the space mission to Mars where they were going to drill, take samples and atmospheric measurements is in danger due to the likelihood America pulling out their financial backing as well as their skills increasing. But this is also happening parallel to the meteorite from mars being donated to the Natural History Museum after landing in Morocco last July. I'm looking forward to seeing what studies of this meteorite shows.

Well I guess they'll be all for now, I'll update you tomorrow!
