I have to say, this gentleman pointing directly into the camera and gleefully reading the line "the origin of your anus" is a more challenging watch than I've come to expect from PBS.
Fire registered in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico 400 meters from the Ku-Charly platform (within the Ku Maloob Zaap Integral Production Asset) A valve of a submarine line would have burst and caused the fire It was out of control for 8 hours https: / /t.co/KceOTDU1kX
I have to imagine it's still pretty bad, but at least it's gas so it's escaping and mixing into the atmosphere rather than sitting on top of the ocean causing problems like oil?

I will never cease to be amazed at human ingenuity. We actually managed to set the sea on fire.

Oh, just a regular old portal to hell, nothing to see there.
Sidenote: how bad is that for the environment? On a scale from 10 to 1 million?
Really quite bad, but not as bad as a leak that size that isn't on fire. When you burn natural gas you get a bunch of atmospheric carbon and nitrogen oxides, but when you just vent natural gas you tend to release a lot of methane, which is even worse.
But the good news is that the hellmouth up there represents a tiny fraction of the natural gas that's routinely burned for no good reason, all the time, in oil fields around the world.
Bonobo builds a fire and toasts marshmallows - Monkey Planet: Preview - BBC One1:09 https://youtu.be/GQcN7lHSD5Y
See, I’m sure I’d be much more impressed by the bonobos that figured out how to make safety matches and cardboard, why didn’t they show footage of those guys?
I have seen adult human animals do much worse at building a fire outside with a butane lighter, if they had to use matches I assume theyd have sprained their hands and broken all the matches

True, but really the point is, does it count if they use human artefacts in a way that appears to be trained? We know chimps of all flavours can be trained to do human-like activities; that’s not new knowledge. So what is the point of the exercise? That they can string together multiple behaviours? Also not precisely novel either. Are they doing this unprompted? Like “we left a bunch of matches and some marshmallows out near a troop we know has been trained on them, let’s see if they bother with the fire or just eat the sugary goo” kinda testing?
Basically I need some context here.
I heard that giving a chimp an unlit cigarette is the cruelest blow because they love smokes but can't use lighters

there is a pretty hefty percentage of actual, factual human beings that I would be shocked to discover were able to successfully build a fire and roast marshmallows.
I don't even care about how they learned to do it, that ape built a fire and made a snack.

Case in point: the talking heads of Fox & Friends spectacularly failing to roast marshmallows:
don't let the wood nickname fool you, it's not bio-anything. It's nickel with orderly nano-bubbles through it that makes it structurally stronger and rainbow-y.

Yeah, I tend to not really trust most science reporting to describe to me accurately what is happening in the headline. I don't know if the breakdown is with the reporter, but maybe most likely actually the editors -- who just want a headline the average person can grasp whether or not it leads to a bit of confusion/unintentional misinformation.
supposedly that's the nickname the researchers themselves use for the material, so fair enough, but yeah it's a bit misleading that there's some biological component to it or the process of creating it

It’s not even a novel material. Nanolatticed metals have been a thing for ages; the primary advance here is a new technique to assemble the base template without gaps (“reverse cracks” as they have it) before adding the actual metal. Which in turn allows for these lattices to be created on scales that might actually be useful to humans.

Stainless steel isn't even a novel material. It's just adding some carbon to iron.
SKS rifles manufactured in Yugoslavia do not have rust resistant chromium lined barrels because Yugoslavia doesn't have chromium deposits and the USSR didnt let them have any because they were mad at eachother so if you use corrosive berdan primed ammunition in your Yugoslavian SKS rifle you have to clean it real good asap or else it will become corroded

It's entirely possible that humans learned how to build fires and make snacks from a different species of primate, anyway. We were hardly the only tool using apes back in the day.

Actually the main part that makes stainless steel different is the chromium
It's iron with chromium and nickel. Iron at room temperature wants to have a body centered cubic structure, but at elevated temperatures it will take on a face centered cubic structure. Chromium and Nickel both have an FCC structure. Chromium on its own can't force iron to take on an FCC structure at room temperatures, but nickel is able to do so. So chromium is added because it forms a stable oxide layer to protect the steel (chromium oxide) and helps to force the structure to FCC, and nickel forces the structure to FCC.

Yes, perhaps he should have said "it's just an alloy", to make his point, but...
Enormous balloon could help astronomers get clear view of space
They're gonna release a giant football stadium sized balloon with a tiny (relatively speaking) telescope floating under it that will float up 25 kms and fly around the earth taking photos of space of similar quality to hubble for a fraction of the cost.
Pretty cool.

Wait, sorry, that's not good news at all, I mistyped.
