In this episode of SciTech Now, we visit a Penn State lab that’s working on making batteries last longer, especially for electric vehicles. Also, discover the field of biomedical gerontology in a Google chat with Aubrey de Grey, who’s on a crusade against aging. And discover how technology is being used to make a more accessible world for those who are disabled.
Local ski slopes need to make snow to survive but you need more than cold air and water to keep the mountains white. SciTech Now takes a look at the atmospheric conditions needed to produce the best powder. Plus the science behind spicy foods.
See how a pair of Pennsylvania inventors use geometry and physics to build what they call the most advanced snow boards on the planet.
Take a walk in one of Pennsylvania’s most diverse habitats. The bog at Black Moshannon State park is home to three unique carnivores, and that’s just the plants.
