Fractal Art
http://www.fractovia.org/art/read.html
This web page has a really cool explanation of the new subatomic particle that was recently proven to exist (it's existence was theoretically postulated back in the 1960's, but only recently "proven" through actual observational experiments):

This is a really cool video of the size and location of earth in the known universe: http://youtu.be/17jymDn0W6U

10-Year-Old Accidentally Creates New Molecule in Science Class
http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2012-02/10-year-old-accidentally-creates-new-explosive-molecule-science-class
Clara Lazen is the discoverer of tetranitratoxycarbon, a molecule constructed of, obviously, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon. It's got some interesting possible properties, ranging from use as an explosive to energy storage. Lazen is listed as the co-author of a recent paper on the molecule. But that's not what's so interesting and inspiring about this story. What's so unusual here is that Clara Lazen is a ten-year-old fifth-grader in Kansas City, MO.
Here is cool little video about size of atoms: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/just-how-small-is-an-atom
