Scientists Invented An Injectable Oxygen Particle That Lets You Survive Without Breathing
Oxygen is great, you guys - it's pretty important to sustaining organic life and does particularly great things for us humans.

PicturePhone: How Bell Telephone lost a half billion, but nearly created the internet
How Bell Telephone's PicturePhone, introduced in 1964, flopped yet nearly catalyzed the internet.
