I promise this story about microwaves is interesting.

Tom Scott investigates the claim that the microwave was invented to heat hamsters, and interviews James Lovelock about freezing and microwave-thawing hamsters in the 1950s. It traces early magnetron uses beyond radar.

HN 推荐的原因： HN recommends it as a well-told chase of a weird fact that lands a rare interview with Lovelock at age 101.
