NSF Science Now: Episode 22

The video discusses various NSF-funded research projects. Researchers at the University of Texas and VTT Finland found that crib mattresses emit harmful chemicals, advising parents to air them out. North Carolina State University developed a stretchable antenna for wearables, maintaining communication when deformed. Arizona State University created simulations of Earth's deep mantle, explaining lava geochemistry. University of Kansas tested a radar-equipped UAS in Antarctica, offering new methods for ice mapping and predicting sea level rise.
