Europhysics Letters publishes first paper submitted from space, your homework excuses now deemed invalid

Couldn't find the resources? Too much commotion? Had to run your pup to the vet? Save it.

Unsurprisingly, EPL (Europhysics Letters) has just published the work, making it the first piece of its kind to ever hit the public after being submitted... from space.
