Video: DARPA Rubs a Flame With an Electric Wand to Extinguish It | Popular Science | Science News | Scoop.it

A recently-concluded DARPA program sought to extinguish fires using unusual methods. No water or simple common chemicals for DARPA: instead, this is "a novel flame-suppression system based on destabilization of flame plasma with electromagnetic fields and acoustics techniques." Below, you will find a video of somebody rubbing a fire with some sort of rod, which puts the fire out.

Human-induced fires sow the seeds of the future

Human-induced fires sow the seeds of the future | Science News | Scoop.it

Scientists found that seeds that were less rounded and coated in thicker protective hairs were more likely to survive fires used to clear scrub.

The study was carried out in an area where natural fires were very rare, allowing the researchers to analyse the impact of human activity.
