During World War II, American soldier John R. Fox heroically sacrificed himself by calling an artillery strike on his own position. As German troops advanced and began overrunning his location, his actions delayed the enemy, giving U.S. forces crucial time to regroup and launch a counterattack.​

Adele Spitzeder was a banker known for running the first recorded Ponzi scheme. She founded the Spitzedersche Privatbank in 1869 and used new deposits to pay high interest rates. When she went bankrupt in 1872, Spitzeder could not be charged with fraud as Ponzi schemes were not yet illegal.​

Russians used live brown frogs to refrigerate their milk; apparently the frogs’ skin released antimicrobial substances that stopped bacteria from growing​

Scientists make aluminum transparent using acid droplets​

The researchers used microdrops of acid solution on small aluminum surfaces and applied an electric current of just two volts, enough to transform the metal into TAlOx, a glass-like material.​


Transparent aluminum oxide (TAlOx), a real material despite its sci-fi name, is incredibly hard and resistant to scratches, making it perfect for protective coatings on electronics, optical sensors, and solar panels. On the sci-fi show Star Trek, it is even used for starship windows and spacefaring aquariums.

Current methods of making TAlOx are expensive and complicated, requiring high-powered lasers, vacuum chambers, or large vats of dangerous acids. That may change thanks to research co-authored by Filipino scientists from the Ateneo de Manila University.
