Germany has unveiled a salt-and-air battery that could change renewable energy storage forever. Unlike lithium-ion batteries, which rely on expensive and limited resources, this new design uses common salt and oxygen to store energy. It can last for decades without losing capacity and is completely recyclable.
The battery is cheaper, safer, and eco-friendly. More importantly, it removes reliance on lithium, cobalt, and rare earth metals — which are often mined under harsh conditions. By using abundant materials, Germany could provide a blueprint for the next generation of green energy storage.
If deployed globally, this technology could accelerate the world’s transition to renewable energy by making it stable, affordable, and scalable.

In Japan, tipping is not customary and often considered rude. This stems from the cultural philosophy of omotenashi a tradition of selfless hospitality where excellent service is provided out of pride, not for extra money. Instead of tips, many restaurants, hotels, and ryokans automatically include a service charge of about 10–15%, ensuring high standards are met without additional payment. For visitors, this means you can enjoy attentive, thoughtful service without worrying about gratuity. The practice highlights Japan’s deep-rooted value of respect, dignity, and genuine care in human interaction.

Henry Darby, the principal of North Charleston High School in South Carolina, went far beyond the call of duty for his students working overnight shifts at Walmart to support those facing serious financial hardship.

From 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., three nights a week, Darby stocked shelves, using every dollar he earned to help students pay for food, housing, and other essentials. For him, it wasn’t just about academics it was about ensuring his students had the stability they needed to succeed in life.

When his story spread, it struck a chord across the nation. Walmart honored his dedication with a $50,000 donation, and crowdfunding efforts raised over $195,000 to further help his students.

In recognition of his selflessness, Darby received South Carolina’s highest civilian honor, the Order of the Palmetto. His actions stand as a powerful reminder that true leadership means service, and that sometimes the most impactful lessons a principal can teach happen far from the classroom.

In 2014, Nintendo’s Wii U sold far below expectations. Nintendo cut its sales forecast, warned of a loss, and reported falling revenue.

In response, President Satoru Iwata cut his salary for five months, while other executives also took pay cuts.

Iwata publicly explained that layoffs hurt morale and creativity, so he would not cut staff just to improve short-term numbers. His approach aimed to take responsibility at the top while protecting developers doing the creative work.
