Graphyne

"Super-strong, highly conducting graphene is the hottest ticket in physics, but new computer simulations suggest that materials called graphynes could be just as impressive."

Physics - Graphyne May Be Better than Graphene

Uturuncu

"Uturuncu, or Uturunku, the highest summit in southwestern Bolivia, is a stratovolcano. ...Researchers have determined that a large, roughly circular "disc" of land surrounding the volcano, approximately 70 km across, has been rising at a rate of 1 to 2 cm per year since at least the early 1990s, making it "one of the fastest uplifting volcanic areas on the Earth"." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uturuncu

Flying pyramids

Intrinsic Stability of a Body Hovering in an Oscillating Airflow

Bin Liu, Leif Ristroph, Annie Weathers, Stephen Childress, and Jun Zhang

Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 068103 (2012)

Published February 9, 2012

Synopsis: Floats Like a Pyramid, Physics, APS

"Writing in Physical Review Letters, Bin Liu and co-workers at New York University present results from experiments on an inanimate pyramid-shaped flyer, or “bug.” Their choice of the shape was made in view of previous experiments with tethered flight, which showed that pyramids could hover in an airflow."
