After the explosion in Hiroshima, scientists discovered an unknown metal
Scientists from the University of Florence have discovered a new metal alloy that was formed during the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. This material had never before been found in nature.
The alloy was found inside a microscopic particle of Hiroshimaite, extracted from sand on the coast of Hiroshima Bay. Its composition is similar to that of stainless steel, but it has a unique crystalline structure unknown to modern science.
Researchers believe the material formed at temperatures exceeding 7,000 °C, when the explosion instantly vaporized buildings, soil, and metal structures. The findings could help in the development of new ultra-strong and heat-resistant materials.

Astronauts have taken the first X-ray images of the human body in space.
SpaceX successfully completed the 13th test flight of the super-heavy Starship rocket. During the mission, the spacecraft deployed 20 Starlink V3 satellites into orbit for the first time and performed a controlled splashdown in the Indian Ocean.
