The machine commonly hung from a cable on a helicopter to trigger avalanches is called a Daisy Bell. It is a conical-shaped device suspended 14-30 meters below the helicopter to trigger avalanches safely without placing personnel on the slope. Instead of dropping physical bombs, the Daisy Bell creates an explosion by mixing hydrogen and oxygen gases within the cone, generating a targeted, high-pressure shockwave that detonates directly above the snowpack
Scorpions farms exist. Each scorpion produces about 2 milligrams of venom daily, which is milked using a pair of tweezers and tongs. A liter is worth up to $39 million, used for cosmetics and medicines
Up to $39 million per liter ($10,300,000 per quart). Because the yield per animal is so microscopic, it would take roughly 2.6 million milkings to fill a single gallon.
Diagnostic dilemma: A parasite never before seen in humans was behind a woman's lung infection, organ damage and forgetfulness
A woman developed a persistent infection, and doctors couldn't pinpoint the cause for many months.
A chamber for chemical reactions. The many inputs allow adding reagents without them mixing outside the vessel. The paddles in the middle spin the mixture, keeping it in contact with the outer walls, which have a separate chamber that will hold fluid running through a heating or cooling loop, to keep the mixture’s temperature controlled.
Scientist reveals alarming side effect of using microwaves: 'Where we've looked, we've found harm'
Health reported that a new analysis of previous research has taken a closer look at the harm microplastics can have on human health, including when plastic is used to store food.
Researchers determined that microplastics are believed to harm our reproductive, digestive, and respiratory health — and they may be linked to diseases such as lung and colon cancer.
"Where we've looked, we've found harm," Katie Pelch, a senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council, told Health.
Research has found that microwaving food in plastic for just three minutes can release millions of tiny plastic particles into the food, which humans then ingest. Microplastics are also shed from containers used to freeze food, as freezing can weaken the plastic.
