Don't Call It A Comeback: The Season 4 Premier
September 27th, 2023 | Season 3 | 32 mins 34 secs
biology, engineering, physics, robotics, scicomm, science, soft robotics, space, space travel
Science Night returns with a new season, a new logo, but the same great scicomm!!! This week, we have three stories that don't appear to have an obvious application to our lives, but who knows what the future will bring. We're talking about projects that are created and funded for the sake of discovering something about our world...its science for science's sake. So join us as we talk about soft robots that get even softer as they melt into a puddle of toxic goo, a nano bead that can write on water, and why our squishy human bodies aren't quite ready to explore the stars.
