NSWCDD hosted the Fredericksburg Regional Governor's School on June 25. Students from the counties of Caroline, King George, Spotsylvania, Stafford, Fredericksburg City, and other private schools in the region were given tours of NSWCDD's unique facilities - Ground Plane area, Chemical Biological Radiological (CBR) Defense Laboratory, Railgun Facility, and Human Systems Integration Laboratory. Dr. Bryan Tienes, Chemist, CBR Concepts & Experimentation Branch (NSWCDD Z21) used the cryogenic capabilities of liquid nitrogen in a demonstration focused on highlighting the relationship between a material's temperature and its physical properties. In the photo, Dr. Tienes is exhibiting the phenomenon of a magnet levitating over a low temperature superconductor chilled with liquid nitrogen.
