to distract you

My promised review of the RSC's Hamlet is coming, but in the meantime, to distract you, I've got two articles to toss your way:

1. The incredible kid who, at 14, built a fusion reactor, and became the youngest person in the world to do so.

2. The amazing story of Archimedes-screw artificial hearts that whir constantly in the patients' chests. Side effect: you're alive, but you've got no pulse.
