Everything Everywhere Daily - Artificial Turf
In 1965, the world’s first full enclosed sports facility, the Houston Astrodome, was opened to the public.
The Astrodome itself was a marvel of engineering, but because it was enclosed, the grass that was initially planted soon died.
It was replaced with artificial grass, which was basically a synthetic carpet that looked like grass but played and behaved totally differently.
Today, the next generations of that artificial grass can be found in stadiums all over the world.
Learn more about artificial turf, how it was created and improved over time on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Hydropower
For thousands of years, humans have used the power of water to do work for them.
At first, it was very simple, then it gradually evolved to more complex and more efficient devices to harness the power of water.
Eventually, we were able to harness some of the world’s largest rivers to produce incredible amounts of power for millions of people.
Despite the advanced hydropower systems that exist today, there are still small-scale uses available as well.
Learn more about how humanity has harnessed the power of water on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
