Welcome to the 43rd issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a bi-weekly curation effort by the members of the @steemstem team.
SteemSTEM is a community driven project which seeks to promote well-written and informative Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics posts on Steemit. The project involves curating STEM-related posts through upvoting, resteeming, offering constructive feedback, supporting scientific contests, and other related activities.
For more details, a recent update on the steemSTEM can be found here, and a not so recent one there. Moreover, if you ask yourself about what it means to be part of steemSTEM, please check here.
Our team scours the platform for original and quality content.
After working through thousands (literally!) of STEM-related posts and upvoting more than 150 that we deemed to be worthy, we proudly present you our top 6 handpicked choices for this Monday-Wednesday period.
Monday
Basic knowledge of dark matter
A post by our architect, @kharrazi, that discusses the basics of dark matter. A mystery of the universe that remains unsolved and continues to amaze us, is beautifully presented here.
Fundamentals of Hydroelectricity
@temitayo-pelumi has written a beautiful post on hydroelectric power. Types of turbines, benefits and drawbacks of hydroelectricity, how to set a hydroelectric plant, you can read all about it in this post.
Tuesday
What I Learnt Last Week 17: The Nasal Polyps, Antibodies and Alzheimer's, Hormones' effect on girl's interests, Secret keeping trais, and The Danger of Fast Foods.
A knowledge pot pourri by @pearlumie who seems to have finally made a big come back. Welcome him by reading his post and learning cool stuff like how dangerous chemicals can be found in fast food.
AEROPONICS : PLANTING BY SUSPENSION IN AIR : A Terrestrial and Extra-terrestrial planting method
Gardeners and farmers, pay attention to this post by @sogless on the method of aeroponics. Do you want to know more about how plants can grow and develop when their whole root system is exposed to air? Then read this amazing post!
Wednesday
Enzyme based Nanocomposites: An alternative to the effective killing of Pathogenic Bacteria
Who is interested in biology? Who finds nanotechnology fascinating? Well, this post is written to satisfy both. @vinamra discusses nanocomposites and their use against pathogens. Definitely a piece you shouldn't miss.
What is an orbit? Part 2: Common types of orbits
Another beautiful post for our collection, this time by @proteus-h who explains what an orbit is and what various types of orbits there are.
For the sake of transparency we feel we need to clarify how our nomination process works; each issue is compiled by certain members of the SteemSTEM community. This mid-week's editorial team was comprised of @ruth-girl with a tiny help from @lemouth.
The editorial team chooses their favorite posts for the week and each issue is the result of their joined effort. In order to keep the process fair, posts written by the editorial team are excluded from the nomination process.
Don't be discouraged if you didn't make it on this issue. The competition is harsh and there is always a next time :)
During the last two weeks, steemstem supported with more than a (possibly split) full vote the following authors:
@abigail-dantes, @adetola, @agbona, @alexs1320, @anaestrada12, @carloserp-2000, @churchboy, @davidrhodes124, @dedicatedguy, @dysfunctional, @gentleshaid, @gra, @greenrun, @highonthehog, @iamphysical, @itastem, @kingabesh, @latm, @lemouth, @logic42, @lordneroo, @micro24, @mobbs, @mountain.phil28, @procrastilearner, @rharphelle, @rscalabrini, @ruth-girl, @samminator, @sco, @sogless, @sooflauschig, @soulesque, @star-vc, @supersoju, @temitayo-pelumi, @valth, @vinamra, @whileponderin, @yann85
We are expecting them to strongly engage the community in return :)
All curation rewards earned will be used to fund @steemstem project functioning and activities.
See you all next Monday!
Later and later... tough week ;)
Congratulations to everyone!

Thank you Steemstem for your support and encouragement. It takes a lot of time and effort for the curators to go through all the steemstem posts and I am thankful for your visit to my post. I will try my best to strongly engage the community in return when I am online.
Great to see a community that strives for higher than normal quality posts, it encourages us to aim higher and broaden our minds. Also it is not just a community for super smart people, because I know I'm not one, it is a community where like-minded people can share their passion, knowledge and joy of STEM.
