It's National Chemistry Week!

Chemistry is what we do - it's behind every emissions level or research NOx analyzer we sell.

National Chemistry Week is a great time to reflect on the hard work that goes on every day to better understand our planet and how we can best protect it from unsustainable practices. Climate change is real, and we need to be taking active steps to reverse it.

ECO PHYSICS recently visited the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Glenn is NASA’s only research center in the Midwest, officially named after John Glenn in March 1999. This site was established in 1941 and was incorporated into NASA in 1958. It is NASA’s third oldest research center. The purpose of the facility has evolved over the years, it was originally for aircraft propulsion studies and now it creates advanced technology for aviation and space exploration. Their facilities currently include wind tunnels, drop towers, vacuum chambers, and a research aircraft hangar. We were fortunate enough to see some of these and take some photos during our installation and training visit. Glenn is involved with many important projects, such as the International Space Station and the Artemis Program, which is NASA’s latest plan to return to the Moon. We hope to be involved in more of the great work and research that NASA Glenn will do in the future. Thank you to Krystal and Dawn for their time.
