Science!

You probably won't be interested in this story about a college that is partnering with the state to build a carbon fiber facility. You probably don't even know what carbon fiber is supposed to be used for. But there is something interesting here: someday, they hope to replace steel in cars with carbon fiber, and that would make cars lighter, more efficient, and possibly cheaper. This is one of those stories that matters to you, but you don't even know it. (Knoxville News Sentinel; Thanks to Frank Murphy at WWST (Star 102.1)/Knoxville for the link)
