The name 'stainless steel' was suggested not by Brearley but by a Sheffield cutlery manufacturer who saw the commercial potential Brearley initially missed.

A massive glacier collapse on the Nepal-Tibet border has triggered catastrophic flash flooding and mudslides.
On Wednesday morning, an enormous chunk of ice snapped off a high-altitude glacier, plunging over a vertical kilometer into the valley bottom.

The temporary dam rapidly failed, releasing a towering, apocalyptic wall of water, mud, and heavy debris that violently tore through downstream mountain settlements and border facilities.

Love this @Perimeter idea for relating light double slit interference patterns to constructive and destructive interference for waves. Simple, clear, and concrete. #iteachphysics
