NSF Science Now: Episode 26

The video covers various NSF-funded projects: an educational app called Storm Evader that teaches weather through interactive gameplay; the discovery of a fossilized pygmy locust in amber, providing insights into insect evolution; the creation of origami robots that self-assemble from flat sheets, offering new manufacturing possibilities; a study on ozone pollution in Colorado's Front Range, aiming to improve air quality; and the discovery of microbial life in a subglacial lake in Antarctica, expanding our understanding of life in extreme environments.

What are the potential applications of the self-folding technology developed by researchers?

What was the goal of the Front Range Air Pollution and Photochemistry Experiment (FRAPPE)?

How do the findings from the subglacial lake in Antarctica contribute to our understanding of microbial life?
