Why Didn’t I Know This First Portable Computer https://www.zmescience.com/science/news-science/the-worlds-first-laptop-weighed-24-pounds-and-had-a-five-inch-screen-but-it-changed-computers-forever/ Segment #2.

From TikTok Question #1: Mammograms Not Banned in Switzerland https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6boH6KC/ Segment #5. Science or Fiction Each week our host will come up with three science news items or facts, two genuine, one fictitious. He will challenge our panel of skeptics to sniff out the fake – and you can play along. Theme: Everyday Chemistry Item 1: Microwave ovens heat food unevenly partly because they produce standing waves with high and low energy spots. Item 2: Rusting is an electrochemical process, with a little battery forming on the surface of iron, including an anode and a cathode. Item 3: The gases inside bubbles of freshly baked bread (prior to cooling) are about 80% CO2 and 20% oxygen. Segment #6. Skeptical Quote of the Week "However profoundly we may penetrate the depths of space, there still remain innumerable systems, compared with which, those which seem so mighty to us must dwindle into insignificance, or even become invisible.." Mary Somerville

Can Science Help Kittens? | #DeepLook #Shorts



Fluffy kittens chasing a ball are beyond adorable -- but they sure aren't born that way. Practically deaf and blind, in their first few weeks they need constant warmth and milk to survive. This is a huge challenge for animal shelters, so they're working with researchers on ways to help motherless kittens flourish.
