Happy Monday!

 

University of Oklahoma physics professor Kieran Mullen showed how NOT to recycle a laptop when he drove home his strict no-gadgets-in-class policy with the help of a bucket of frozen nitrogen. He arranged for a student to bring in a dummy laptop which was then confiscated and dunked in the hyper-cold liquid nitrogen. OU freshman Lindsey Brinkworth told the Oklahoma Daily, “He said: ‘This is just liquid nitrogen, so it alone won’t hurt the computer — but this will. Then he threw it to the ground and told him to have IT fix it.”

It's unfortunate that the video cuts away soon after the drop so we don't get to see the actual results. I suspect the student filming didn't want her cell phone to be the next gadget to be dunked and dropped.
