Play a New EVE Online Minigame, Assist Real Life Scientific Research
In an update released today, EVE Online added a new minigame, Project Discovery - in exchange for finding patterns in images of protein cells, pilots are rewarded with ISK, medals, new Analysis Kredits and, most importantly, the feeling of having just contributed to real life science.
The game is simpler than it looks - you're presented with a picture of a protein structure, and you match its various elements with a set of examples. Does that nucleus look like the same shape as that nucleus? That's a match. The more matches you make, and the more accurate you are, the more in-game rewards you receive. That also means that those looking to cash in by simply making up answers will be given fewer and fewer rewards as time goes on, making the only real path to progression helping people. Lovely!

The work of Vietnamese developer Trần Vũ Trúc, the emulator analyses NES ROMs uploaded to the cloud and then, well, take a look:
It's not entirely clear how this is working, or exactly what it's doing – the emulator doesn't just extend the sprites backwards, but appears to take some artistic license with how they're presented, dropping shadows and deciding where environmental elements sit in relation to one another.
