GOOGLE AND NASA RELEASE TIMELAPSE, A VISUAL TOUR OF THE PAST 28 YEARS
With its latest project called Timelapse, search giant Google has found an interesting and visual way to show us how different parts of the earth have changed during the past 28 years. On their official website, Google explains more about how NASA and the U.S. Geological Society have been gathering high-res images of the earth for ..read more..
PREDICTIONS ON THE 2012 SOLAR FLAIR BY MICHIO KAKU
A while ago, NASA scientists reported something pretty frightening and maybe a bit too movie-like to even sound remotely true: our own sun could have a temper tantrum that would unleash a tsunami of radiation from outer space, potentially wiping out our space satellites, power lines and leaving entire continents without power. A disasters of this ..read more..
ANATOMICALLY ENGRAVED MRI/CT GLASS LAYERS
London-based artist Angela Palmer creates these brilliantly detailed three-dimensional views of CT and MRI scans using multiple sheets of vertically layered glass. Just as magnetic fields are used to carefully image layer after layer of internal biological structures inside humans and animals, Palmer etches these same scans into layers of glass. She says her inspiration for these ..read more..
AXIOM AND SIMULATION
So how cool are these images? These Fata Morgana’esque looking pictures are the amazing works of photographer Mark Dorf. In Axiom & Simulation, photographer Mark Dorf examines how humans interpret and explore our physical surroundings, through scientific and digital imagery. These interpretations may manifest in the form of mathematical or scientific abstract calculations. With these additions, we may lose ..read more..
CERN CONFIRMS DISCOVERY OF NEW “HIGGS-LIKE” PARTICLE
CERN’S scientists have found a new boson within five standard deviations of accuracy. The new particle is the heaviest boson ever found and it’s “consistent” with the Higgs boson. At a press conference in Melbourne Wednesday morning, CERN’s experts said the evidence for the particle’s existence was observed in the CMS experiment at the Large ..read more..
PATTERNED BY NATURE
Patterned by Nature was commissioned by the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences (naturalsciences.org) for the newly built Nature Research Center in Raleigh, North Carolina. The exhibit celebrates our abstraction of nature’s infinite complexity into patterns through the scientific process, and through our perceptions. It brings to light the similarity of patterns in our universe, ..read more..
NATURE, THE NEVER ENDING INSPIRATION
Biomimetic, also known as bionics or biomimicry, is a science that reproduces characteristics of one or more biological systems. The term means “imitation of life”. In the 70s Wilhelm Barthlott, a botanic and bionic professor, discovered that the leaves of the Lotus flower are always clean. They clean themselves. Today this effect is patented and ..read more..
