And here we are for the 8th edition of the distilled of the best articles posted within the STEMsocial community. STEMsocial is actively pushing for engagement, which we find a bit weak at the present time. Therefore, feel free to read and comment the posts of all featured authors of the week! Note that if you use our app, your comments are eligible for a small upvote from STEMsocial!
Before moving on with the two best posts that have been selected (by Hive account@lemouth) from all the posts found by our curators last week, here are the most supported ones:
Sometimes, movies are not that accurate that we may think of. In his last post, Hive account@hadji reports about a home-made experiment aiming at verifying the use of a microwave oven as a Faraday cage as presented in a movie (to save us from terrorists of course). Interestingly enough, it works, at least when the bomb 9from the movie) is replaced by a Wifi device!
One of the STEMsocial astrophotographer, Hive account@terrylovejoy, is back with us on Hive to share some of his pictures of a new comet named ATLAS and that has been found a few months ago. In his post, it is possible to follow the evolution of the comet over time, from March 2020 to today, thanks to a set of amazing pictures.
