The Himalayas are the tallest mountains on Earth. That doesn't make them the best. Ten of the world's great mountain ranges, ranked on what they do for the world around them: the Wall, the Water, the Weather and the Wealth, each scored from one to five.

 

Dedicated to Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary, the first people confirmed to stand on top of Mount Everest, on 29 May 1953, and to all the mountaineers who've risked everything to stand on top of the world.

These metals melt when pushed together

 

For a while now, I've wanted to try mixing gallium and indium metal together by shoving them into each other, where something interesting should happen.

More specifically, they form an alloy that's liquid at room temperature, and when mixed with tin, they form something called Galinstan. Galinstan is a lot like mercury, and is often used as a less toxic replacement, in things like thermometers.

How a Cave Becomes a Home
