Engineering Ventilators

Especially during COVID-19, ventilators have become incredibly important. These useful tools are needed when the body’s respiratory system stops working properly.

Radiosurgery: Methods and Limitations

Radiosurgery is a way of removing tumors from organs like the brain, lungs, liver, and pancreas without actually performing surgery on an individual. It relies on several low-dosage beams of radiation targeted at the tumor.

Radiosurgery: An Introduction

Brain surgery can be a daunting prospect and traditional neurosurgery is often painful and requires a lengthy recovery time. Even so, the patient may not be completely rid of the tumor and recurrence can always occur. An alternative to traditional brain surgery is stereotactic radiosurgery, which utilizes beams of radiation to target a brain tumor in a completely non-invasive way.

Perseverance Has a Helicopter!

Recently, Mars welcomed yet another visitor from Earth, named Perseverance. If you don’t already know, Perseverance is the third robot we’ve sent to Mars and is specifically designed to collect evidence of life. It has a variety of tools to do so, and in this article, we’re going to talk about one of them!

Extracting DNA Experiment

The reason why we squished the strawberries was to break their outermost layer - a rigid cell wall. By breaking that cell wall, you are exposing the inner strawberry cells because they have nothing to protect them.

How did Perseverance Slow Down?

First of all, what did Perseverance need to accomplish to be successful? Well, it had to slow down from 12,100 mph to zero in the span of seven minutes, so that the rover wouldn’t completely explode upon reentry.

The Marconi Project

We are calling this overall project MARCONI (after the Italian inventor). The software we will develop will allow students to collaborate and bounce ideas off one another,” Whitmer said. “Students will be able to share great STEM experience and tackle real and complex problems.” Whitmer continued “They will also get to see STEM in action in their own communities and envision how a STEM career doesn’t have to mean leaving home.”

The Internet of Things

What if your fridge could order milk when you were running low? What if the lights could check your calendar and make an appointment with the electrician to be replaced? What if the devices in your home could “talk” to each other in a way that made your life safer, happier, and more efficient? This is exactly what the Internet of Things aims to do.
