Three important anniversaries yesterday, today, and tomorrow, all linked and related: satellite and rocket.
Yesterday was the anniversary of the launch of the first V-2 rocket, October 3, 1942.
A young Wernher von Braun had been working on rockets for almost twenty years prior to the...
The first all-female spacewalk is scheduled for this month 👩🏻🚀 "After the first all-female spacewalk was scrapped in March, NASA has now scheduled another attempt with astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir for October 21.⠀ ⠀ The announcement was made Friday during a briefing by the agency previewing 10 upcoming spacewalks by astronauts on the International Space Station." ⠀ ⠀ #WomenInSTEM #GirlsInSTEM #WomenInScience #STEMists #GiveGirlsRoleModels https://www.instagram.com/p/B3VB-kih0NP/?igshid=1qb9g3vmxj9hi

Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. - Stephen Hawking https://www.instagram.com/p/B2YMNZSBm31/?igshid=1aby3r446wzqx

Scientists in Switzerland use sound waves to levitate, manipulate matter. http://bit.ly/15z86Ro As anyone with a subwoofer and a teenager knows, sound waves exert pressure. When those waves are bounced between carefully aligned surfaces, they can create what is known as a standing wave, in which the total pressure from the original wave and its reflection cancel each other out. Objects placed at spots along the wave with the lowest amplitude, known as node points, tend to stay put. Being able to manipulated matter without touching it promises a wealth of applications, from material sciences to biology. For instance nucleic acids can be introduced into cells – a process known as DNA transfection – without fear of contamination."You can basically play with cells in a droplet," says Foresti While commuting via acoustically levitated skateboards may be far off in the future, Foresti says that he hopes that other researchers will soon find novel uses for his method.

Academics in a Box Inc. was founded to inspire in students a desire to learn more about the sciences and humanities. Our products aim to allow students a new way to experience the beauty, poetry, and wonder of our universe through hands-on experience. Our foundation is based on the ideas that by “doing” and “experiencing,” students are more motivated to become inquisitive about the world around them. It’s this curiosity and creative thinking that are at the heart of developing a love of learning. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) is used as a guide to ensure that our products supplement the learning that takes place in the classroom. We aim to take students beyond simple memorization of facts and figures by helping them gain a better understanding of significant science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) practice and application, as well as gain a deeper appreciation of the materials they are presented with.
