These Migrating Birds Fuel Up by Eating…Mud?
A marathoner needs a lot of energy to make their long distance treks, and this is no different for migratory birds. But how are these marathon flyers getting that energy from the mud they’re slurping off of beaches along the way?

The Strongest Bases in the World
Acids are widely considered to be the scariest chemical compounds of all, but bases can be just as powerful. Most powerful of all are a special class of pH scale-defying bases called superbases!
