        Remember Vitaminwater's “free of rolling screen for a year” challenge that dared people to be free from smart phones for a whole year will win $ 100,000? Well, Elana Mugdan, a New York woman. has been into it for eight months. and just four months away from claiming grand prize.
       Vitaminwater made news headlines last December when it announced its unique challenge. Thousands of people applied to be chosen as the perfect candidate to spend a year without touching their smart phones, but in the end, the only person who got to try and survive for an entire year without a handheld smart phone was Elana Mugdan, a 29-year old fiction writer from Queens，New York. Eight months into the challenge, she claims it has been a free and eye-opening experience that shows her just how dependent she becomes on her smart phone. Even though there are times when she misses her handheld smart phone. she plans to go on living without it even after the challenge ends. because she really doesn't want to go back to days when she abused it, wasted time. stayed up all hours of the night on it, and was obsessed with social media.
        But not having access to her smart phone really made certain situations a lot harder than she could have imagined them before. “Many people did me a favor. However, once, I almost got stranded (滞留) in the SeaTac airport because the phone number I'd written down was wrong, and I had no way of referring to the right one. no way of calling a cab, and no one in the state who could help me.” the young writer said.
        Another time. her car 's “check engine” light turned on while she was driving in an unfamiliar area at night. She couldn't use her phone's GPS location feature, or even check what the light meant on Google or find a nearby car repair shop. Still, she learned to overcome these situations, And now she claims the last eight months of phone free life have been one of the best adventures of her life and that she'll keep it for another four months.

        Pyenandra Becuminata (喜树) is a rare tree native to New Caledonia that has the rare ability to collect heavy metals like nickel (镍) from the ground. The liquid circulated in its body is blue-green and reportedly contains up to 25% nickel.
         In general, tree and heavy metals like nickel don't really go well together, But Pycnandra acuminata make them live together, And that 's what makes Pycnandra acuminata so special. It sucks out normally poisonous levels of heavy metals from the soil and store them in its .
trunk, leaves and seeds.
        The evolution of Pyenandra acuminata is believed to have occurred over millions of years, but scientists have yet to identify a universal principle of nickel intake and storage. The reason why such trees have formed the way of absorbing metals is also up for debate.
        The most popular theory states that the concentration of nickel protects such trees from leaf chewing insects. And studies have shown that nickel accumulated by these trees indeed harms many insects though some have developed a high tolerance to it. Another theory says nickel has effects of resisting bacteria. which protects the trees from various diseases. However, these theories are all just theories.
        One thing that has been proven is the ability of Pycnandra acuminata to clean the soil with poisonous materials caused by human activity. There's also clear potential for collecting heavy materials like nickel in these kinds of soils that will bring a few profits by conventional ways of mining. People can collect minerals contained in such soils from the blue-green trees.
       Unfortunately, Pycnandra acuminata is recently in a bad situation. Human activity in forests of New Caledonia has made Pycnandra acuminata in danger. Consequently, probably fewer than several hundred trees of this kind have remained as a result of the reduction of our forests.

       Fancy your own satellite? Arizona State University is working towards making this a reality with its SunCube FemtoSst project, Smaller than a standard CubeSat, the low-cast student- designed spacecraft is aimed at providing greater access to space for scientists and hobbyists alike.
       Assistant professor Jekan Thanga and且team of students have been developing the Sun-Cube FemtoSat for the past two years. The small 3×3×3cm cube weighs in at just 35g and a longer (3×3×9cm, 100g) model has also been designed, which includes storage space.
       Each SunCube FemtoSat has its own communication, data collection and propulsion (推进) systems and is powered by solar panels. It is made of off-the-shelf parts that are available in shops, and the energy-efficient solar panels are cut from scrap (碎片), which makes it save energy, sold at a discount by manufacturers. “With a spacecraft of this size, any university can do it.” says Thanga. “That's part of our major goal—space discovery for everybody.”
        The team says that while launching your own satellite would usually cost between US $ 60.000-70.000 per kilo, it would only cost $1.000 to send a SumCube FemtoSat to the International Space Station, and $ 3,000 to send it into low earth orbit. Leaving the earth's gravity would cost an estimated $ 27 ,000.
         The FermtoSat would be packed with a “jack in the box” style system that matches standard CubeSat sizes (around 10 cubic cm)。simplifying the process of getting the tiny satellite into orbit. NASA has sent 30 CubeSats into space over the last few years, with another 50 awaiting launch.
        Thanga and his staff view the FemtoSat as a starting point for scientists and students, and even hope the device could be bought on the website like Amazon one day. Thanga imagines developing four main applications for the device. including hands on testing experiences for students, and artificial gravity experiments. In addition, groups of SunCube FemtoSats could eventually be able to do the job of larger spacecraft at a vastly discounted cost.
