George Washington carried folding beds, tents, eating utensils, and other equipment to use while encamped on the field with his troops during the Revolutionary War. Washington likely used this bed when he traveled from his Newburgh, New York, headquarters in July 1783 -- as the war was winding down -- to tour upstate New York and the military installations located there.

Last year, private researchers CT scanned many apple's Thunderbolt 4 connectors and were astonished to find a 10-layer PCB with lots of active electronics.
A lot of people saw the scan and wondered whether malicious electronics could be hidden in a tiny USB connector
and the answer is YES.
It can even look like an ordinary USB cable (video on the right), but it can log keystrokes, inject malicious code, and communicate with an attacker via WiFi, etc.
You can explore the scans for yourself 👉 Here

"Some say Schrödinger had few options. He was about to be fired from the University of Graz in Austria for "political unreliability". His first attempt to get away from Nazi-influenced Europe had come to nothing when in the 1930s he turned up at the University of Oxford with both his wife and mistress, "offending the academic establishment there by making no attempt to conceal their living arrangements, with which his wife (Anny), who had her own lovers, was quite happy" as described by biographer John Gribbin."

Paper from an asteroid mining company, conducting a thorough elemental abundance analysis of meteorite samples. Result: asteroids aren't quite as metal-rich as previously thought, but abundances of platinum-group metals still blow terrestrial ores out of the water.
