  • The method involves injecting finely ground iron ore powder into an extremely hot furnace, triggering an “explosive chemical reaction”, according to the engineers involved in the project.

    The result is a display of bright red, glowing liquid iron droplets that rain down and collect at the bottom of the furnace, forming a stream of high-purity iron that can be directly used for casting or “one-step steelmaking”.

    that is so fucking cool!!! can’t wait for “How It’s Made”-style videos about it

    they don’t even need coal for this process!! this is so exciting!

    The new method also works exceptionally well for low or medium-yield ores that are abundant in China, according to the researchers.

    Existing iron production methods depend heavily on high-yield ores, and China spends a huge amount of money importing these ores from Australia, Brazil and Africa.

    🤩 more of it, better quality, for less money?!

    look at them go! hot damn party-parrot-popcorn


  • not trying to argue whether this is/isn’t the dude, I’ve had questions about the eyebrows etc too, but

    no lens will make a tooth gap where there isn’t one

    I have unfortunate personal experience to the contrary. I do not have a gap between my front teeth irl, but I have an old driver’s license photo from my early 20s that makes it look like you could put two quarters between them.

    it was so bad, I said I lost it and paid to do the whole process over again just to get a new picture done, I could not be taking that out to the bars with me 💀 but it was so funny that I kept it and genuinely enjoy showing it off. it’s ridiculous, idk how tf the lighting made that happen, but it did 🤷

    if there were any way to post it without doxxing myself, I would, because it is genuinely that hilariously bad.
