NSF Science Now Episode 17

The video covers several NSF-funded research projects. Vanderbilt University developed super capacitors that enhance energy storage and management in devices. Duke University studied infants' numerical cognition, linking early abilities to later math skills. Michigan State University used UAVs to improve crop management by monitoring stress factors. The Galaxy Zoo 2 project, led by the University of Minnesota, involved citizen scientists in classifying galaxies, contributing to understanding the universe's evolution.

What are the potential applications of the novel super capacitor developed by researchers at Vanderbilt University?

How do super capacitors differ from traditional batteries in terms of energy storage and discharge cycles?

What findings did Elizabeth Brannon's study reveal about the relationship between infants' numerical recognition and later math abilities?

Describe how Michigan State University researchers are using unmanned aerial vehicles to assist farmers.

What is the significance of the Galaxy Zoo 2 project and what did it achieve?
