To come up with our final idea we brainstormed multiple ideas and then whittled down the ideas until we got to one final idea. Our idea was nanobots that make microtears in a persons muscles to promote muscle growth. We took the idea to the counselors at C(n)SI who recommended that we make it more […]
today was the first of the three days i was out sick. The day began at 715, like most days, however, unlike most days, it ended 20 minutes later when I fell back to sleep unable to maintain consciousness. I spent the morning in my dorm room sleeping until around twelve forty five when I […]
PLASMA! Today we visited the UCLA plasma labs. The first machine we saw teased us. No one knew too much about the fourth state of matter but I assumed that it moved like a viscus liquid. It didn’t. we saw “flashes” of plasma in the first machine each flash lasted only milliseconds and was being […]
the getty museum is one of the most respected art museums in California. I was able to view the getty’s gorgeous out-door garden. The garden is arranged very geometrically. The circular design is futuristic and intriguing. The hedges are arrayed in concentric circles with breaks and extra lines like a maze. There are three surrounded […]
For our midterm we came up with multiple ideas. We whittled them down to one. Our idea was that we would create robots that could enter a persons musculature and constantly make micro tears in the muscles to increase muscle mass steadily without the need to work out. From this idea we came up with […]
Today we watched the butterfly effect. The movie was all about cause and effect relationships resulting in ways that are unexpected or startling. These effects are shown in the life of the main character who has the power to go back in time and change his past. Consequently he has the power to change the […]
Today I began my understanding of the artscience program. The motif for the day was magnification and microscopy. We saw multiple microscopy labs and met lots of people who worked with imaging and magnifying devices all day. Most of what I saw I had heard about before. We saw a normal light microscope and even […]
When I first arrived the ART / Sci NanoLab I was unaware of the heavy theme of Art in the program, and how, indeed, the joining of art and science was the main focus. I learned about art/sci through my highschool chemistry teacher and the way he had described the program had been in purely […]
