1/3 The team used a liquid metal alloy of gallium, iron, nickel, and silicon at 1,025°C. Carbon from methane diffuses into the metal, forming diamond crystals without extreme pressure. These synthetic diamonds boast exceptional properties ideal for electronics, quantum computing, and medical devices

By constructing four dams almost overnight, the beavers have effectively shielded the river from harmful sediment and acidic water.

Bohumil Fišer from the Nature Conservation Agency highlights the incredible impact, estimating savings of around $1.2 million for Czech authorities.

Beavers constructed four dams on a bypass gully, reversing environmental damage from a former military base, restoring the area into a vibrant wetland

Their dams enhance water quality, reduce erosion, and support diverse plant and animal life, demonstrating the important ecosystem role beavers play

Every year, hundreds of thousands suffer cardiac arrests outside hospitals with only ~10% surviving. A study by OHSU found that anterior-posterior pad placement boosts survival by 2.64x compared to traditional methods.

While promising, more research is needed to implement this technique widely.
