Welcome to the 44th issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a 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 8 handpicked choices for this Thursday-Sunday period.
Thursday

Read this beautiful post by @christinaa on wireless power transfer. Her series reaches its last episode with a post discussing power transmission through electromagnetic radiation. In case you missed them, don't forget to have a look at the first two ;)
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 week's editorial team was comprised of @ruth-girl.
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 :) In the meantime, you may wish to check these guidelines for extra tips on how your writing can be more effective.
In the same spirit of being transparent about our actions that are now supported by @curie, we will release every week a list of authors who have caught the attention of the @steemstem curation team.
If you want to discuss this with us, please do not hesitate to join the steemSTEM discord server or to follow our curation trail (just ask us for more information on the chat for details).
From April 15 to April 22, we rewarded 119 different authors who have written a total of 175 different articles. The authors who received both a @steemstem and a @curie vote that week are:
@aamin, @aboutcoolscience, @addempsea, @adetola, @agbona, @ajpacheco1610, @alexaivytorres, @alexander.alexis, @alexdory, @anaestrada12, @annieben, @anyes2013, @ari16, @arrrados, @artgirl, @azulear, @carlosgerdet, @chloroform, @churchboy, @cristi, @crypto-bird, @cupido24, @davidrhodes124, @davinci.times, @deboas, @dedicatedguy, @dexterdev, @drifter1, @dysfunctional, @earisu, @egotheist, @eleonardo, @eliaschess333, @elizabethh, @elvigia, @emmaculate, @eniolw, @ennyta, @etcmike, @event-horizon, @fancybrothers, @felixrodriguez, @florae, @frankjavier, @gra, @h-max, @handsa, @henrychidiebere, @highonthehog, @ibk-gabriel, @imaginedragon, @issavets, @ixindamix, @joelagbo, @joseangelvs, @josedelacruz, @joseleogon, @kelos, @kingabesh, @latm, @lauch3d, @lesshorrible, @lets-tech, @lianaakobian, @logic42, @lordneroo, @mcassani, @micro24, @migueldavidor, @mikemoi, @misomaniac, @mittymartz, @mountain.phil28, @mountainwashere, @mrbreeziewrites, @nataschachem, @nicotinamina, @noble-noah, @nsbachurin, @olajidekehinde, @pangoli, @procrastilearner, @real2josh, @rharphelle, @rickie, @robbiescorner, @rscalabrini, @ruelrevales, @sakura1012, @samminator, @saunter, @scienceangel, @serylt, @sogless, @sooflauschig, @soulesque, @spaghettiscience, @spiceboyz, @steemzeiger, @steepup, @supersoju, @sustainablyyours, @temitayo-pelumi, @tensor, @terrylovejoy, @tomastonyperez, @torkot, @tsoldovieri, @ulisesfl17, @valth, @vanessahampton, @viannis, @vinamra, @vjap55, @wayuu-reg, @whentone, @whileponderin, @yann85, @yusvelasquez
