Typorganism
Typorganism is a great interactive website dealing with type and presenting it as a living organizm that evolves. Check it out.
Advanced Computer Simulation Screensaver
http://www.nsf.gov/news/overviews/computer/screensaver.jsp Black holes merging. Completed on NCSA’s Titan Linux computing cluster, this simulation shows two black holes merging and the resulting ripples of space-time known as gravitational waves. The full simulation, a general relativistic numerical depiction of two black holes orbiting and then merging, represents the first time that three-quarters of a full orbit was computed. An animation of these
SuperFractals
Michael Barnsley, a researcher and entrepreneur in fractal compression, has written the successor to Fractals Everywhere. The first edition of the book SuperFractals was published last month. The following is a quote from the editorial review on Amazon “Superfractals is the long-awaited successor to Fractals Everywhere, in which the power and beauty of Iterated Function Systems were introduced and applied
NANOART Competition
I was invited by Cris Orfescu to participate in this contest and thought it was an interesting idea. From the site: “NanoArt is a new art form where micro/nanosculptures created by artists/scientists through chemical/physical processes and/or natural micro/nanostructures are visualized with powerful research tools like Scanning Electron Microscopes. The monochromatic electron microscope images are processed further to create a piece
The Long Zoom – New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/08/magazine/08games.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1 Steven Johnson writes one of the most intelligent and interesting articles about Spore I’ve read so far. The beginning paragraph blows my mind and sets the stage for a fantastic description of the game we are all anxiously waiting for.
Biomedical Image Awards
Check out the Biomedical Image Awards gallery and vote for your favorite microscopic images. My favorites are this one and the image of aspirin crystals. Neat stuff!
Go Go Rocket Beetle!
What, is this guy on crack? Fnd out what inspired Ron Patrick to put a jet engine on his VW… not to mention the 2 he put on his wife's scooter. He says he'll never know exactly how fast the VW will go because after it reaches 160, it literally lifts off the ground! Well, I guess having a PhD
This is a simulated image that shows the distribution of matter in the Universe.
At last: Just three cell types detect light in the eye
http://www.innovations-report.com/html/reports/life_sciences/report-19196.html From the page: Putting to rest years of controversy, an international research team led by Johns Hopkins scientists has discovered that the eye’s job of detecting light is most likely carried out by just three cell types.

Todd Siler
www.feldmangallery.com Todd Siler, trained in both science and the visual arts, will exhibit models and drawings derived from his studies and speculations on nuclear fusion reactor design. Delving into an area that science and technology so far have been unable to fully solve, Siler, in his new body of work, responds to one of the most monumental scientific challenges of
