In the 1960s, a NASA Glenn engineer developed a magnetized fluid to move fuel in microgravity.
While it wasn’t used in spaceflight, the invention led to ferrofluids — a breakthrough material now used in semiconductor manufacturing, waterproof seals, medical research, and even art installations.

From space to your neighborhood! 🔋
Nickel-hydrogen batteries — once used to power missions like @NASAHubble and the International @Space_Station — are now storing renewable energy here on Earth.
Thanks to research done here at Glenn, this space-proven tech is now more affordable and can be used at power plants, businesses, and homes: https://t.co/iv0bX8Yf2x
Happy Arbor Day! 🌲🌳
Celebrate by hugging a tree and then measuring it with the @GLOBEProgram's Observer App! By collecting data - like tree height & circumference - you can help scientists better understand our global ecosystem. #CitSciMonth
