"Glow in the dark paint was applied to the lock, so a soldier could unlock the miniature bomb in the dark". I'm thinking that its unlikely 'glow in the dark paint' would be tritium based. More likely radium, which was used up to WWII for instrument dials etc. But I don't know. Backpack nukes...

I'm curious how thermochromatic paint is made that has many changing colors corresponding to different temperatures? Read that liquid crystals are used but they same as in LCD displays or it's somekind another chemical?

today I opened a package and unexpectedly there was a lot of tiny white pieces stuff flying out, like dust flying out from old books, but it's certainly not dust. I suspect it's paint pieces fallen from somewhere and don't understand how it gets to the package inside. Could our nose and lungs...

I like to hear from forum members who have used portable devices to determine which paint matches the color of a given surface. I notice there are "apps" for smart phones that purportedly do this. e.g. https://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/try-on-colors/colorsnap-mobile Do these...

Hi there, I noticed that when I release the cap it moves forward slightly (away from me) which I attribute to the surface being not level and my hand applying a small force. However, the cap will roll backwards afterwards (towards me). What is causing the cap to roll back and forth? It...

As you can see from the image a vertical portion of my wall (a wood beam) has developed this vertical bubbling where the paint is being rejected. It spans from the ceiling to floor. First thing I thought of was water damage, but as I chip away at the paint and get to the wood it doesn't seem...
