What did Lorentz and Zeeman do to win the Nobel Prize for physics in 1902?

We are pleased to emphasise the post of one of our curators, @carloserp-2000, who shed light on the history behind the 1902 Nobel prize in physics. Zeeman and Lorentz got it, but how and why? You will know more by looking into the post, in which you may learn (or be reminded) a few things about radiation and magnetism.

Improving Drilling Mud with Soda Ash and Barite

Our SteemSTEM member @tomlee attended an interesting meeting about engineering in Nigeria, with a focus on the need for being more local. In other words, it focused on trying to diminish importations. The post reports about a project aiming at improving the way clay is made in Nigeria.
