Square Enix's Foamstars: A Legitimate Splatoon Alternative

Square Enix is developing a new multiplayer game called "Foam" that resembles Splatoon in terms of mechanics and Overwatch in terms of balancing.

Laser Engraver Simplifies Graphene Production

A new technique for producing graphene using an ordinary laser cutter has been explained by Robert Murray-Smith. This method creates a graphene "foam" with interesting properties, and recent papers show that graphene can be grown on things other than Kapton tape using this method. While it doesn't produce monolayer graphene, it is more scalable than most other methods.
