Atomic Gardening refers to a mid-20th-century scientific technique that involved exposing plants to radiation in order to induce mutations and create new, potentially improved varieties. The idea behind atomic gardening was to harness the mutagenic effects of radiation, such as X-rays or gamma rays, to induce random genetic mutations in plants. Scientists believed that some of these mutations might lead to desirable traits, such as improved yield, disease resistance, or other beneficial characteristics.
This approach was explored as a method for crop improvement and was part of broader efforts to increase food production in the post-World War II era. The hope was that by exposing plants to radiation, researchers could generate genetic diversity more rapidly than traditional breeding methods, allowing for the development of new and improved crop varieties.
The term "Atomic Gardening" gained popularity in the 1950s and 1960s when various countries, including the United States, conducted experiments in which crops like wheat, rice, and barley were exposed to radiation. However, the technique eventually fell out of favor as researchers better understood the complexities of genetic mutations and the potential risks associated with ionizing radiation. Modern genetic engineering techniques have largely replaced atomic gardening in contemporary agricultural research. However, it remains popular in the Asia-Pacific region.

This stunning multi-mission picture shows off the many sides of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. It is made up of images taken by three of NASA’s Great Observatories, using three different wavebands of light. Infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope are colored red; visible data from the Hubble Space Telescope are yellow; and X-ray data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory are green and blue.

What Did We Get Stuck In Our Rectums This Year?

As in past years, the Sun Sentinel has created a searchable database of emergency room visits around the country. And as in past years, we have trolled the data for the finest examples of insertions showcasing extraordinarily bad luck and/or ingenuity.

My hospital adventure minus the boring bits. 5/6 "The Bad Dog Collar and the Cat Scan"
Because of my fall at school and lack of control of my limbs the hospital was going to me an x-ray of my neck and CTC scan of my head just to make sure it was nothing drastic. So as the nurses were discussing putting a collar on me I made the comment "I don't need a collar, I'm not a bad dog".... I got a collar so that means I was obviously a 'bad dog' (not being able to use opposable thumbs didn't help my case). I then made the comment about how funny it would be if I got a cat scan in my bad dog collar, and I did (it was hilarious at the time).
