SciTech Now: The Webb Telescope
Rating
0.0 stars

Join us as we go inside Carolina State University’s insect museum and see why these specimens are so valuable. Syntactic foam is strong and buoyant material commonly used in the manufacturing of submarines. Now, a team of researchers have developed a method of 3D printing components of syntactic foam that could take submarines to greater depths. We take a look at the next generation of space telescopes with Zolt Levay of the Space Telescope Science Institute. And we see how computer simulations are helping engineers identify buildings that are at risk of collapsing during an earthquake.

SciTech Now: Timekeeping Atoms
Rating
0.0 stars

Lack of reliable internet access and high-tech learning tools can put low-income and rural students at a disadvantage. In order to bridge this divide, a superintendent at one of the poorest school districts in the nation created an initiative that provides students with internet and the tech tools they need. Ainissa Ramirez, author and self-proclaimed science evangelist, discusses how atoms keep time. We visit St. Petersburg College in Florida where students pursue the skills they need to land the latest jobs. And we see how an app is simplifying the process of auctioning cattle.
