Robert Liston (1794-1847) was a respected surgeon known for his swift and precise surgical skills. He could amputate a leg in less than 30 seconds, while others took 2-3 minutes. This speed was essential for reducing pain and improving the odds of survival for patients in an era before the advent of anesthesia.

We spent lots of time and energy to get into a college. Ironically, it's during our time in college that we learn how to learn independently. I think that's why several great minds have dropped out early from college — they have already mastered how to perform independent study. What you you think?

Have you seen this? BARK Air - the first luxury airline for dogs. The service seems to be truly luxurious for both the pet and the owner, although it comes with a cost (a one-way trip from NY to LA costs $6000). Not for everyone now, but maybe more affordable versions in the future.

Interesting facts about the UK's DragonFire, a laser directed-energy weapon: 1) It accurately hits a dime-sized target 1 kilometer away. 2) Highly effective at shooting down sophisticated drones. 3) It costs only $12 to fire a single shot. Previously, sophisticated anti-drone missiles cost over $1.2 million per shot.

Certain DNA insertion in TBXT gene caused mis-splicing of the gene and resulted in mice being born with short or entirely missing tails. This DNA insertion is found in humans and apes without tails but is not found in most monkeys with tails. Link to the paper in my reply. Img from Nature website.

Use of a neural prosthetic device to recall specific memories: In this research, electronic stimulation applied to the brains of volunteers helped people remember images better. Could this technology be applied to treat Alzheimer's disease? https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1034277

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a method for extracting gold of over 90% purity from discarded computer mainboards using old milk (see my reply). This method is significantly more environmentally friendly than current techniques, which rely on activated carbon adsorption.

The goat's pupils are rectangular during the day and return to a circle at night. These rectangular pupils help the goat quickly spot predators during the day. During the day, goats see the world as if through a panorama view.

A research team at the U Utah demonstrated that a walk in nature restores attention. They recruited 92 random people, asked them to subtract 7 recursively starting from 1000, and then had one group walk in nature while the other walked on an asphalt-laden road. The EEG data showed that...
