That’s where the tiny, compact ScrewMaster comes in – and it does also let you break car windows in emergencies.Continue… Continue reading Tiny titanium tool packs a magnetic bit driver and more
If you were a flowering plant, wouldn’t you want your pollen to be received by a plant of your own kind? According to a new study, at least one plant may ensure that happens, by blasting “rival” pollen off of pollinating animals’ bodies.Continue Readin… Continue reading Explosive flower blasts beaks to dislodge rival pollen
