Chemists at UC Berkeley created a new catalytic process that turns plastic bags and bottles (polyolefins) into gases like propylene and isobutylene. These gases are used to make new plastics like polypropylene. The process uses cheap solid catalysts and can be scaled up for industrial use. This method helps recycle plastics better and supports a circular economy by turning waste into new materials. 🔄♻️

Myth: Glass flows over time, making old windows thicker at the bottom.
Fact: Glass is an amorphous solid, meaning its atoms are arranged randomly, not in a pattern like crystals. It stays solid at all normal temperatures and only softens above 600°C (1112°F). Old windows are thicker at the bottom because of how they were made, not because glass moves. 🔥🌡️

The yo-yo is a toy made of two disks connected by an axle with a string. When dropped, the string unwinds and rewinds, making the yo-yo return to the hand. It dates back to ancient Greece around 500 BCE but likely started earlier in China. In the 18th century France, it was called “joujou de Normandie.” The name “yo-yo” comes from a Filipino word meaning “come-come.” 🎯🧸

After death, human microbes survive in soil and help break down the body. They work with soil microbes to speed up decomposition and recycle nitrogen, which plants need to grow. These microbes can live in the soil for months or years, turning dead bodies into nutrients that support new life. 🌱🦠💀

The human clitoris has about 10,000 to 11,000 nerve fibers, much more than the old estimate of 8,000. This number was based on cow studies, not humans. The clitoris is very small but has many nerves, making it very sensitive. Scientists studied tissue from seven people to find this new number. This helps with surgeries for gender changes and injuries. 🔬✨👙

The Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010 ended the U.S. military policy that forced gay, lesbian, and bisexual people to hide their sexual orientation. Passed on 22 December 2010, it allowed them to serve openly. The old policy, started in 1993, only let them serve if they kept their orientation secret and the military didn’t find out. 🇺🇸👩‍❤️‍👩👨‍❤️‍👨👩‍❤️‍👨👨‍❤️‍👨

Heated water has helped people relax and heal for thousands of years. Ancient cultures like Japan and Rome used natural hot springs and made early tubs with hot stones and pipes. The Jacuzzi brothers, Italian inventors in California, created the first submersible pump and later a hydrotherapy pump in 1956 to ease arthritis pain. In 1968, Roy Jacuzzi made the first whirlpool bath with jets, starting modern hot tubs as places for health and social fun.♨️🛁
