When a 1000°C iron ball touches pineapple skin the moisture vaporizes instantly forming a protective steam layer. This Leidenfrost effect lets the skin resist extreme heat without burning. Makes you wonder if pineapple skin could inspire future heat shields.

The TRACERS spacecraft, Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites, will study magnetic reconnection around Earth to understand how the Sun interacts with our planet’s protective magnetic shield – the magnetosphere

Nancy Schaefer and Child Protection Services Nancy Schaefer exposed the abuses of CPS and the international child sex slavery ring. She was a conservative legislator who served in the Georgia State Senate from 2004 to 2008. On November 16, 2007, she published a report entitled "The Corrupt Business of Child Protective Services." (Link in comments below.) On March 26, 2010, Nancy Schaefer and her husband Bruce were found killed in their home. She was shot in the back, and her husband was shot in the chest. It was ruled murder/suicide. https://t.co/rV0qukrtn6

Researchers at CUNY have developed diamene, a groundbreaking material formed by stacking two graphene layers. Under sudden pressure, diamene transforms into a diamond-like structure, offering exceptional hardness while remaining incredibly thin and flexible. This innovation holds potential for revolutionizing protective gear, providing lightweight yet robust defense against high-impact forces.

The heroes of Chernobyl. If it were not for these men in the photo, Alexei Ananenko, Valeri Bezpalov, two nuclear engineers and Boris Baranov, there is no quantification of how many thousands of lives would have been lost during the Chernobyl catastrophe, in Pripyat, Ukraine in 1986. Ten days after the meltdown , the plant's water cooling system had stopped working, and a radioactive pool had formed directly beneath the highly radioactive reactor. Without cooling, the lava-like substance could have easily forced its way through the remaining barriers, melting them and causing the reactor core to fall into the pool . If this had happened, it could have triggered further explosions with radioactive clouds that probably could have reached not only various parts of Europe and Asia, but also Africa. In the photo, engineer Alexei together with Valeri and Boris, volunteers for what was considered a suicide mission, wear protective gear to dive into the highly radioactive waters and dump the fluid near the reactor. The mission was successful and the three heroes prevented further catastrophic consequences. Surprisingly, all three survived the mission only to die, according to a theory circulating online, a few days later in hospital due to the radiation they absorbed, like many other people who put their lives at risk to limit the damage. In reality, Baranov died in 2005 due to a heart attack, and Ananenko and Bezpalov are still alive."
