Ebola
Yep, still a problem. The vaccine could solve it however. No side effects have been found, awesome. Nope, not even autism. Thats pretty cool, as it could solve problems in the future. sauce: http://www.businessinsider.com/ebola-vaccine-moving-to-the-next-stage-2014-11
Cancer
The drug blocks a protein that causes the body to ignore the cancer cells or something. I'm not in medical school (yet). Either way, another awesome thing to combat the horrible disease. Shoutout to @RustyGrizwald who recently beat cancer. Sauce: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/turning-immune-system-cancer?tgt=nr
Sub atomic particles
The large hadron collider discovered two subatomic particles that have never been observed before. For those physics geeks, they are made of three quarks that have been observed together before, but not with the specific spins on them. I beleive they are called Xi_b' and Xi_b* *edit: as @MeatyKiwi pointed out to me, the two particles were predicted in 2009, just never produced before. Still kinda cool though. sauce http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/19/cern-physicists-two-new-subatomic-particles_n_6184878.html
Materials
DNA
DNA survived our atmosphere, space, and re-entry. That means we could bring DNA to and from other planets.... uh oh. *edit: what I meant is that, in the future, should the situation come about, we could potentially infect other worlds with earth-native DNA, or bring back extra-terrestrial DNA by accident.... sauce: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/11/141126144150.htm
solar panels
Sorry, meme is a little bit misleading. So this could increase efficiency of solar panels 8%, and possibly even adding 20% efficiency. Wow. right now, the best is 41%. Imagine solar panels that get 60% efficiency, free energy. sauce: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell_efficiency
