Oxygen Enemas Could Save Lives

The video discusses two main scientific advancements. First, researchers have found that certain mammals can absorb oxygen through their intestines, a discovery that could lead to new treatments for respiratory failure in humans. This method, involving an oxygen enema, has shown promise in animal studies and could be useful in situations where ventilators are scarce. Second, a new method for recycling plastics into jet fuel has been developed, using a catalyst to break down polyethylene at lower temperatures. This process could improve recycling efficiency and reduce landfill waste.
