Happy Sunday! Hopefully you’re getting time off today. Here are seven STEM/STEAM links that are fun and bit quirky. Ever wonder what the first color was in the universe? Not that anyone was anyone was around. There’s also links to stories about AI predicting crime based on watching real time video feeds, a star that’s closer to Earth than the Voyager spacecraft, Wi-Fi that apparently works at nine miles distance, and how heatwaves triggers dementia. I also found a link that describes the simplest unsolved math problem. Plus an old solution that might fix antibiotic resistance. Hope you find them interesting too!
