Good day all and welcome to the fourth edition of the stemng digest, a weekly selection of some of the best posts under the #stemng tag in the past week.
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 can be found here, while details of what it means to be part of steemSTEM can be found here as well.
Just as we usually do, the management has travelled far and wide the corners of #stemng tag and selected the posts they think is the best for each day of this last week. Relax and enjoy as we take you through the best posts of the previous seven days.
@pearlumie writes on the link between genetics and intelligence, using the flu to treat pancreatic cancer, a new concept of growing food through the breakdown of human waste (anything to end world hunger is welcome), a forgotten antibiotic comes to the rescue in fighting the superbugs, and some bad news for smokers. For details check the link above.
@henrychidiebere took us on the journey of love. Love is never what it seems; as there is some science to that love. Just like the title mentioned it is a must read for the lovers out there. For more details check the accompanying link.
The article is about carbon and was put together by @pangoli. I do admit that carbon takes the cake on the list of chemical elements. Its structure makes it the hardest substance when it comes in the guise of a diamond. It also is a composite of the carbon cycle. For more details on this fascinating chemical element check the link above.
Ones are Zeros are the foundations of binary coding as this post from @churchboy reveals to us. To implement a device that can do calculations using this concept, scientists used vacuum tubes which had a lot of issues. This post examines how vacuum tubes work. The problems with vacuum tubes that required improvement, how transistors fit the bill, how transistors work as switches and how their switching capabilities enabled development of logic gates which are miniaturised in silicon wafers used in microchips to build everything from supercomputers to fast mobile devices that changed the world.
A procedure in the brain to fix some nervous impairment? A pacemaker in the brain? Think no further as @rickie has got it all covered in the article with the link above. Everything from how it works, its applications, possible side effects, etc. can be found at the link above.
Imagine the world without TVs, but @oluwabori does not want that. Instead, he wants to show us how the thermionic emission of the cathode ray tube made the TV screen, which many of us love so much, a reality. For more details check out the link above.
To end this week's digest is the article written by @ugonma. It explored the weapon of war known as a biological weapon. There are more details on how this weapon of deaths are formed and distributed whose sole aim is the total annihilation or getting the enemies on their knees with hands up in surrender. The details could be found above.
