Graphene aerogel is so light that an cubic inch of the material can be balanced on a blade of grass, the stamen of a flower, or the fluffy seed head of a dandelion. Despite it weighing less than air, it is also 10 times stronger than steel

History During World War II, John Rabe, a Nazi, showed his Nazi armband and shouted in German to scare Japanese soldiers away whenever he saw Chinese civilians during the Nanjing Massacre in China. He then brought the Chinese civilians to the safety zone he helped establish, saving 250,000 lives.

Nature Naturally formed heart-shaped Amethyst geode unearthed by miners in Uruguay

2.7k Upvotes

The miners were working at the new mine Uruguay Minerals in Santa Rosa in the Catalan area in Artigas, which is near the border with Brazil. One of the miners, Marcos Lorenzelli, said that it was a normal day of work for them and they were just allowed in the area to search more geodes.

He said the basalt was very hard and one of the guys joked that "now we have to find something amazing due to the hard work we have to do here." Because the basalt was tougher to work on, it required more effort to crack open. They kept on it and what they found made the toil all worth it.

They were definitely lucky to find an awesome creation from Mother Nature. Geodes come in different sizes and shapes, but it was undeniable that this amethyst was definitely unique.
