The CMS experiment at CERN has reported the first direct observation of a diffusion wake in quark-gluon plasma using dijet events, the short-lived fluid created when lead nuclei collide inside the Large Hadron Collider.
The blast threw a thirteen-pound tamping iron through his cheek and out the top of his head. Within an hour he walked up a flight of stairs. What the famous part of the story gets wrong is what happened next.
The Apollo 13 distance record was never meant to be a monument. It was a byproduct of a rescue.

Ole Rømer was timing a moon of Jupiter to help ships find their longitude. The clock kept running slow, and the reason turned out to be the speed of light.
A 2021 experiment offered common cuttlefish an immediate snack or a wait for their favorite prey. They waited, and their patience tracked how quickly they learned.
The Soyuz 23 story is one of those spaceflight episodes that reads, at first, like a sequence of unlikely complications added one after another until the situation becomes almost absurd.

As Apollo 11's crew prepared to leave the Moon in July 1969, the Soviet robotic probe Luna 15 was descending toward Mare Crisium to grab soil and rush it home first. After 52 orbits it crashed, the quiet finale of the Moon race.
