#DidYouKnow peltiers are used to stabilise the temperature of systems ranging from satellites and spacecrafts to beer coolers! #funfact

[Twistosity @twistosity]

We've started to assemble the #Peltier system for our experiment! This transfers heat from one area to another using an electric current.

Everyone loves learning a cheeky bit of #Arduino. Can't wait to #automate our experiment! #spinyourthesis17
