Germany on the move :) from Allo Allo to pyramids

Technology:
-Non-explosive hydrogen storage. They store hydrogen by reacting it with lithium to form lithium hydride and lithium hydroxide, and can later controllably release the gas using various catalysts such as platinum.
-Virtual child passes mental milestone. Children typically master the "false belief test" at age 4 or 5. It tests their ability to realise that the beliefs of others can differ from their own, and from reality.
-UK scientists breakthrough on embedded processors. It makes them behave more predictably.

Science:
-Hardy Earth bacteria can grow in lunar soil. Cyanobacteria grow in water-rich environments. They are technically a type of bacteria, but like plants, they produce their own food via photosynthesis.
-Larvae of sand dollars clones itself to avoid becoming fish food. Fish are voracious predators of sand dollar larvae. Dawn Vaughn and Richard Strathmann of the University of Washington, Seattle, found that when they put four-day-old sand dollar larvae in a tank with fish mucous, the larvae cloned themselves.

Society:
-Germans to see sitcom 'Allo 'Allo. It finally reached Germany, one of the best comedy series ever produced.
-Germany plans 'cemetery pyramid'. "The new pyramid is not a monument built for one king, it will be there for people of all faiths, for atheists, for everyone. It will grow for thousands of years."
-Vatican updates the list of sins. It's good to update once in a while.... The news is in French.

Ecology:
-The green screen effect: Britain's first ever eco network is a smash hit.
