The Bobo Doll Experiment, 1963: The Dark Side of Science
The studies conducted by psychologist Albert Bandura to test his social learning hypothesis are known collectively as the "Bobo doll experiment."
He observed children's reactions between 1961 and 1963 when they saw an adult model behave violently toward a Bobo the Clown toy.
The most well-known iteration of the experiment evaluated the kids' actions after they witnessed an adult model being praised, reprimanded, or left alone for physically assaulting a Bobo doll.
The experiment's findings will later be used to support the 1980s and 1990s anti-video game movement.
Although seen as contentious, the study wasn't as horrible as the Baby Albert study.

NASA's Bold New Experiments: Crash Landing Techniques on Mars
The Simplified High Impact Energy Landing Device (SHIELD) is a lander concept being tested at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). It could one day provide a new way for low-cost missions to land on Mars.
Rather than rely on parachutes or retrorockets, SHIELD would include a collapsible, accordion-like base to absorb the energy of a landing. A full-size prototype of the base was tested on Aug. 12, 2022. The prototype was hurled at the ground from the top of a nearly 90-foot-tall (27-meter-tall) drop tower at JPL. A steel plate ensured the impact was even harder than what would be experienced on Mars.
The design worked: After crushing against the steel plate at 110 mph (177 kph), several electronic components inside the SHIELD prototype, including a smartphone, survived the impact.

Behind Closed Doors: Decoding the Mysterious Legacy of The Robbers Cave Experiment
The actual event known as the "Lord of the Flies" scenario, similar to the Robbers Cave experiment, occurred in 1954 at Robbers Cave State Park in Oklahoma, involving 22 children.
Conducted by Muzafer Sherif and Carolyn Wood Sherif, the experiment aimed to observe the potential conflicts arising when two separate groups were isolated from each other.
This event stands as the inaugural instance of a study concentrating on intergroup behavior. However, the outcomes demonstrated that the two groups of children ended up engaging in conflicts, theft, and even burning of flags.
