Oh yeah, he calls out the orange menace for being the absolute fool he is, and how Canadian citizens have come together.

Shape recovering liquid

Science yo! 
The particles created magnetic dipoles, a phenomenon where their magnetic poles attract each other, creating a field of "chains" on the liquid's surface. This interaction interferes with how the emulsion separates.

Salt powered refrigerator

A group of teens in India decided to try and create a refrigerator that didn't need electricity - so that vaccines could be transported to remote locations. 

After much trial and error, they found that using ammonium hydroxide as their salt component met their need and could keep a temperature just above freezing. 

And then they added some additional salts and were able to get below freezing and remain that way for some time. 

There's a cool (ha!) bit of physics involved her where ions are released when the salt is added to water and the net result is an endothermic reaction.

US Born citizen detained…

This is where we're at. 

A judge ruled his birth certificate is legit.  And yet he remains in custody. 

Da Foq?

the House of Representatives passed legislation to sweep away even that check on his power by stripping federal judges of the ability to halt his most flagrantly illegal actions with nationwide injunctions.
