Pizza that last for years?!

Pizza that lasts for years?!

Military members have been asking for pizza to be sent. Scientists have created this pizza that lasts up to 3 years!!! This pizza doesn't even need refrigerating! The tomato sauce has a new moisture, cheese and the toppings, too. This moisture will also help from soggy pizza dough to be created. This pizza is said to be delicious. The downside is the pizza is not hot but at room temperature. Moisture should not be migrating. The toppings are also packaged in packings so they can be preserved. For example the pepperoni is in crumble pieces. This is a large innovation creating food that can last for long, so people in the world do not have to throw out food that expires.

Scientists do not still understand what goes on in the material that makes up solar cells. But scientists did happen to make this discovery. Solar cells are made from organic semi-conductors. Solar cells are blended with materials. 

But these solar cells only have a whopping 3 percent efficiency rate. This model created by these scientists will increase efficiency. It is a mathematical model, and will help in chemistry a lot.

Those ingredients listed of an all-natural banana make it a chemical. Chemicals are filled with a lot of chemicals. You may think gross next time u see a banana, but so are a lot of other things people eat. These chemicals are proven to be 100% safe and edible. Bananas are pure, simple, and all natural. DNA is also in bananas. If u pick a few foods, and you use these ingredients in a banana, you may find out that there a a ton of foods you eat everyday

These world's first quantum dots containing single cobalt ions. This creation will help scientists in solotronics. Solotronics are a field of experimental electronics and spintronics of the future, based on operations occurring on a single-atom level. 

This is a cross-section of the quantum dots made by the Institute of Experimental Physics at the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw. The color red marks an ion  with magnetic properties ( Yellow represents a quantum dot. Blue shows the layer securing the quantum dot
