Del City Police Lt. Jody Suit said the body of 32-year-old Damon Patrick Schmidt was found in a condemned area of the Kristie Manor Apartments. Suit said it appeared Schmidt had been dead about 24 hours.

Mark Edwards, Del City's city manager, said that because that section of the apartment was condemned and considered dilapidated, that area should have been secured and patrolled.

Electricity turns garbage into graphene
LONDON - Science doesn’t usually take after fairy tales. But Rumpelstiltskin, the magical imp who spun straw into gold, would be impressed with the latest chemical wizardry. Researchers at Rice University report today in Nature that they can zap virtually any source of solid carbon, from food scraps to old car tires, and turn it into graphene—sheets of carbon atoms prized for applications ranging from high-strength plastic to flexible electronics. Current techniques yield tiny quantities of picture-perfect graphene or up to tons of less prized graphene chunks; the new method already produces grams per day of near-pristine graphene in the…
