O Ferrofluid Fortuna!
5 12 2011Limitless lilting landscapes of light
irridescently emerging, elegantly inverting and mellifluently merging.
Mesophase geometries reveal resonant chromatic complements
interlaced in magnetic dream spirals.
Prismatic tides and horizons bursting with beauty
glimpsed behind the ethereal veils of time.

New BioVisions Animation: The Mitochondria
13 11 2010A new biomolecular movie has been released from the same Harvard team that brought us the phenomenal Inner Life of the Cell. This video is also 100% atomically accurate and depicts the mitochondria which provide the chemical energy that powers the cells of animals (and also have their own DNA because they were originally a separate organism before symbiotically fusing with animal cells).
For more animations such as The Inner Life of the Cell or this fantastic portrayal of cellular apoptosis, check out molecularmovies.com.

Atomic Resolution Breakthrough in Scanning Tunneling Microscopy
13 11 2010
Under a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), molecules usually appear as indistinct blobs. But research published in the 20 August Physical Review Lettersshows how a recently developed type of STM can reveal the structure of a molecule in much greater detail. In this type of STM, a single hydrogen or deuterium molecule is attached to the probe tip, and the team showed that the pressure of this molecule against the probe leads to the dramatic improvement in imaging.

Erik Davis’ Expanding Mind
12 02 2010Erik Davis has had a lot of very interesting podcasts recently on his show, Expanding Mind. I recently enjoyed listening to the Mark Pesce and RU Sirius interviews as well as the one with Richard Doyle, professor of (science &) Rhetoric at Penn State and Berkely and author of On Beyond Living, Wetwares and soon to be published The Ecodelic Hypothesis: Plants, Rhetoric and the Evolution of The Noösphere.
