Tesla patents new chemistry for better, longer-lasting and cheaper batteries, just as the year ends. The new battery tested is a Li-Ion battery cell with a next-generation “single crystal” NMC cathode and a new advanced electrolyte, useful for both electric vehicles and grid-storage. via /r/Futurology

Three months after his bone marrow transplant, a man learned that the DNA in his blood had all been replaced by the DNA of his donor. Four years after his lifesaving procedure, all of the DNA in his semen belonged to his donor. The case implications for future transplants and forensic science. via /r/Futurology
