STEMng Digest: Episode 43

Welcome to another episode of STEMng wdigest. This is the 43rd episode of the series, a series where we bring to you some of the best articles written by STEMng authors.

As a background information, STEMng is a sub-community of steemSTEM, a community-driven project which seeks to promote well-written and informative Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics posts by Nigerians on Steemit. The project involves submitting quality STEM-related posts to the steemSTEM management for upvoting and resteeming where applicable.

More information about STEMng activities are found here, while details of what it means to be part of steemSTEM can be found here, as well.

As we usually do, we have sifted through the STEMng tag and even though there were several good posts to choose from, below are the posts that stood out which constitute our 43rd episode.

1: Laser Physics and its groundbreaking invention #1: The Optical Tweezers.

How much do you know about the laser? Perhaps I should ask how much you wish to know. @emperorhassy seems to be taking us through the laser journey and it is going to be an interesting one with the look of this first episode.
