Most modern firearms can fire underwater because self-contained ammunition carries its own oxidizer, allowing gunpowder to ignite & generate expanding gases without oxygen.

Russian Telegram channels report a drone attack and subsequent fire at Tambov gunpowder plant. The plnat is one of Russia's largest manufacturers of gunpowder for small arms and artillery ammunition, including pyroxiline gunpowder for small arms, hand grenades and rocket-propelled grenades, artillery and mortar ammunition. It is part of Rosteh State Corporation.

Aug 2025 , Scientists found pressure can disorder ice’s crystal lattice into a glassy, self-lubricating layer. Amazing because ice stays slippery without melting, under pressure, ice breaks its own rules.

The dipper (Cinclus hydrophilus) is one of the few birds that can walk underwater. 🐦💧 Its dense bones help reduce buoyancy, while strong legs allow it to grip rocks and move along the riverbed. The bird’s eyes are specially adapted to see clearly underwater. Its feathers are tightly waterproofed with natural oils, allowing it to dive into fast-flowing rivers, even when the surface is icy, without becoming waterlogged.

Researchers at Northwestern University captured the formation of nanoscale water bubbles as hydrogen and oxygen combined in real-time. Using a new method involving nanoreactors and electron microscopes, the team observed how palladium helps generate water from these gases. This breakthrough has potential implications for water production, especially in space travel, where it could help astronauts create water from gases without extreme conditions. 👉

Fire creates a rapid expansion of hot, burning gases inside the tire, which causes a momentary explosion that can forcefully push the tire bead onto the rim, creating a seal and allowing the tire to be inflated. Don't try this at home.

Woman compares the bright red meat were used to in American grocery stores vs the color meat is supposed to look “This meat is bright red. That's because it's packaged with carbon monoxide and a few other gases” The gases are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and sometimes oxygen. Yes you’re eating these gases - Carbon Monoxide (CO): Binds to myoglobin in meat, forming carboxymyoglobin, which keeps the meat bright red for an extended period, even if it’s not fresh. This can mask spoilage, which is why its use is controversial and banned in some countries (e.g., EU, Japan, Canada). - Carbon Dioxide (CO2): Inhibits bacterial growth, extending shelf life. - Nitrogen (N2): Acts as an inert filler to maintain package volume and prevent collapse. - Oxygen (O2): Sometimes included to maintain color in fresh meat by forming oxymyoglobin, though high oxygen can promote oxidation and spoilage over time.
