We’ve recently heard that shocking news that, for the first time ever, the United States decided to use the biggest bomb in their arsenal called the Massive Ordinance Air Blast (MOAB) or otherwise known as the “Mother of All Bombs”. The country used the 21,600-pound weapon against Islamic State forces in Afghanistan.

American officials were quick to point out that it was a nonnuclear bomb (“not even close to being a nuclear weapon,” said US Air Force official Dr. Adam Lowther) and that it is in no way a “symbol of escalation” regarding the conflict in Afghanistan.

Not to be outdone, Russia’s ‘Father of All Bombs’ (FOAB) is way bigger and more powerful than the MOAB.

In April 2016, a seemingly trendy mummy that looked like it was wearing Adidas trainers was discovered by archaeologists and herders in Mongolia. And, just recently, researchers have been able to restore the mummy, including its fancy garments and footwear.

Though her shoes bear an uncanny resemblance to Adidas sneakers, it wasn't what it appeared to be. What the mummy was wearing was a pair of knee-high felt boots intricately decorated with a black-and-red striped pattern. The footwear also boasts leather soles and fancy buckles.

Since 1907, when plastic was first invented, plastic waste has been continuously accumulating on the planet's landfills and other waste disposal sites. Now more than a century after its invention, the world stands vis-a-vis with one of the biggest problems that man has ever created - plastic waste pollution.

Among the most common plastic waste produced are plastic bottles and cups, and it would take approximately 450 years, or maybe even more, to decompose. So, to help reduce plastic waste, a company decided to create an edible water balloon that aims to replace plastic bottles and cups.

Say hello to "Ooho!" - an innovation that will revolutionize the way we drink water. It looks like a wobbly globe of fluid that resembles that of a breast implant. It is made of two layers of gelatinous membrane that consist of sodium alginate, obtained from brown algae, and calcium chloride. Meanwhile, the jelly-like consistency is achieved through a process called gelification - a cooking technique that involves adding an edible gelling agent to liquids.
