Genetics Tool Inspires New Method for Dating Old Art

“A molecular biologist has borrowed a technique from genetic science to date hand-printed art. The so-called print clock method, developed by Blair Hedges of Pennsylvania State University, could help historians and collectors pinpoint when thousands of undated, hand-printed materials were created.” – Scientific American, June 21, 2006 Soooo cool!

First Synthetic Nanoscale Fractal Molecule

Scientists from the University of Akron, Ohio University and Clemson University have created and captured an image of the largest man-made fractal molecule at the nanoscale, a development which could eventually lead to the production of new types of photoelectric cells, molecular batteries and energy storage.

Google Mars

Google Mars is pretty neat, indeed! They provide a shaded relief map that is color-coded by altitude, It also points to mountains, canyons, dunes, plains, ridges and craters in true Google maps fashion. What's cool is that each of the pointers offers an article that tells about that particular place on Mars. Keep up the good work, Google!

GeneDesign

Johns Hopkins researchers have announced the development of a web based program that helps to simplify the steps in designing artificial DNA. GeneDesign automates the process of determining which building blocks of DNA should be linked together in a particular order to make a gene. “GeneDesign not only guides the user in designing the gene, but also automatically diagnoses designContinue readingGeneDesign

The Khronos Projector

There is a deep interconnection between art, science and technology and when these worlds collide, the results can be phenominal. The Khronos Projector is a perfect example. It is an interactive art installation that allows people to visualize movie content in an entirely new way. By actually touching and deforming the screen, the user can send portions of the imageContinue readingThe Khronos Projector

Proof that Political Extremism is Based on Ignorance

Oh my, this report makes it clear what I have been saying all along. Far left and right wing people are incapable of processing information REGARDLESS of FACT! The quote below is a quick summation, but I really encourage anyone who is able to learn (obviously our partisan fools are incapable of doing so) to READ this information. We, theContinue readingProof that Political Extremism is Based on Ignorance
