Ana di Pištonja, also known as Baba Anujka, was a serial killer in Yugoslavia who committed between 50 and 150 murders using her "love potions" that she sold to women who were having marital problems. The woman gave these arsenic-laced potions to their husbands, killing then days later. She was apprehended in 1928 at the age of 90, but due to her advanced age, she was released after 8 years. She died in 1938 aged 100.

Could 3D printing help make our highway infrastructure safer and more sustainable?
This 3D-printed wall gets its strength through geometry instead of carbon-intensive steel, and internal sensors can help spot faults before they happen 👇

🔎THE GLASS FAMINE🔎
I think you’ll find this story from #materialworld pretty 🤯
It’s about how a simple substance changed the world.
About how decisions taken centuries ago still shape our lives.
It begins with one of the most extraordinary moments in modern military history
