Dr. Dave Rakestraw, a senior scientist at Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory, is transforming science education using smartphones. Over the
past five years, he’s developed a series of experiments that utilize the
built-in sensors of smartphones — like accelerometers — to engage
students in hands-on scientific discovery. These experiments, accessible for
free on the lab’s website, range from measuring heart vibrations to
tracking movement.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) brings a novel approach to 3D
printing with microwave technology. Microwave Volumetric Additive
Manufacturing (MVAM) is a technique that enables the use of a wide range of
materials. MVAM enhances microwave energy usage to cure one’s material by
allowing for broad-based selections of opaque and composite materials with
high printing speed and accuracy.
