	Tesla’s recently introduced battery packs, for both home and utility use, are already proving to be tremendous successes.

	Spiders produce Kevlar-tough webs after being fed carbon nanotubes
	This is something that’s either incredibly cool or incredibly scary depending on how you feel about spiders. Technology Review brings us word that materials scientist Emiliano Lepore at the University of Trento in Italy has discovered a way to spray spiders with water that contains carbon nanotubes and graphene flakes that will give them the power to spin silk that matches “the toughness of state-of-the-art carbon fibers such as Kevlar.” Apparently, the spiders actually swallow and ingest the nanotubes before being able to create this super silk.

	McDonald's is more desperate than we ever imagined
	McDonald’s is in bad shape right now and it has nothing to do with the silly-looking new Hamburglar mascot. Faced with slumping sales, the fast food giant has been scrambling around trying to come up with a way to rebrand its image to bring more customers back to its franchises.
