STEMng digest: Week 23

Welcome to the 23nd episode of the stemng digest series where we bring to you some of the best posts under the #stemng tag in the past week.

For those that do not know yet, stemng is a sub-community of steemSTEM, a community-driven project which seeks to promote well-written and informative Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics posts by Nigerians on Steemit. The project involves submitting quality STEM-related posts to the steemSTEM management for upvoting and resteeming where applicable.

More information about stemng activities are found here, while details of what it means to be part of steemSTEM can be found here, as well.

As we usually do, we have sifted through the stemng tag and even though there were several good posts to choose from, below are the posts that stood out for week #14.

Saturday: Image projectors: Taking a closer look

Unless for those that are technologically conscious, majority of us do not look beyond the physical appearance of gadgets and think or ponder about their principles or modes of operation. This post from @henrychidiebere served to educate us on the operating principle of an image projector. A gadget some of us have used times without number. An informative and educative post that serves as our opening for this week.

Sunday: Finding Heroism in Autism

How many of us have thought of people with Autism as possessing special abilities? Maybe not comparable to the likes of spiderman et al, but some do possess some unique intellectual abilities. Read this post from @funmiakinpelu to learn more.

Monday: The Black Panther's Vibranium: Could it be real? Is there any other Metal like it?

This post from @mrbreeziewrites discuss the potentials of graphene to confer superpower ability just as Vibranium did in the Marvel Comic movie, Black Panther. How possible do you think this can become a reality? Take a dive into the article and see for yourself.

Tuesday: Human Evolution: What Is It All About And Why Is Homo Sapiens The Only Species Alive, Who Were The Neanderthals? Let's Find Out!

A critical look into the process of human evolution and how it becomes that human is the only species alive in the genus 'Homo'. A well written and structured article from @stembuzz

Wednesday: Who Says You Cannot Make your Own Airplane? Series #3: Understanding How Jet Engines Work And Effect Of Atmosphere In Flight

A continuation of the airplane making series from @teekingtv. In this episode, the mechanism behind the operation of the jet engine was extensively discussed. A very good series to follow for the inquisitive minds.

Thursday : Ingested Microbe and Immune Responses

An interesting, educative as well as entertaining piece on the immune response of the body after ingestion of microbes. Who says scientists are boring? Surely not @herbayomi, a debutant into STEMng digest. A good read I will recommend to everyone.

Friday: Self-healing Materials: Repairing The Inanimate The Biological Way!

Capping the selections for this week is this lovely piece on material science from @eurogee. If you have never imagined that inanimate materials can be induced with self-healing ability, a good read of this post would definitely change your mind.

About the selection process

The post for each day was selected based on consensus between the stemng management, in persons of @greenrun and @gentleshaid. @greenrun made the week's selections, while @gentleshaid presented it.
