Recent weeks have given me hope for the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering and maths).
The Higgs Boson was found. A feat of engineering blended with theoretical physics to find the elusive 'God's particle'! Although it doesn't actually contribute to our understanding of the atom that much, it solidifies the fact that there IS a Higg's Boson, and it's not some random thing like a graviton or anything like that.
Mars Curiosity landed succesfully! Major happies right here as it proves that funding space programs leads to amazing endeavours. Too bad Spirit the rover had to be left over there :( But hopefully something good will come of this. I realize, economically, it might not seem like the most intelligent investment, but the technologies and discoveries we make on the way to Mars are definitely worth it.
And today, I found out, that you can literally 'print' a house:
