This tiny device makes dirty water drinkable in just 20 minutes

Scientists have developed a tiny device the size of a postage stamp that can kill 99.99 percent of bacteria in water in just 20 minutes.

Exposing contaminated water to sunlight can naturally clean it up – because UV rays blitz germs – but this distillation process usually takes up to 48 hours to complete. Instead, this new gadget harnesses a broader spectrum of the Sun’s rays to speed everything up.

Stay Up Late? Messy? Swear A Lot? You Could Be a Hidden Genius

Stay Up Late? Messy? Swear A Lot? You Could Be a Hidden Genius

Some of those “bad habits” of yours, like being messy, staying up late, and swearing, are actually indicators of high intelligence.
