Ryder Moody thought of uses for our product and found images of each use on the internet. These images were then edited with Adobe Photoshop to create the desired glowing effect. He also came up with the way the lens converts infrared signals into visible lights. Because there is infrared light naturally, we had to […]
Our project is finally almost finished. We worked for a long time and went through many little fights before getting to where we are now. We will do a little more work later tonight still. I think it is turning out quiet well. We are even making a rap song using Logic Pro on my […]
Today we went into an anechoic chamber. This is a room where each wall, the floor, and the ceiling is covered with foam. The foam makes the room extremely quiet. Once you are in there, it is dark and silent. But it is not really silent. You can hear a buzz from the air in […]
On Monday I was really sick. I could hardly get out of bed for the whole weekend so I went to the doctors. Since I could not do the normal stuff that day, I’ll talk about the program so far. I really had no idea what to expect coming into this. I just knew that […]
Hands on! Finally! My group had the best ferroliquid by far. It worked great and had large spikes with one magnet, but when we combined six or seven it was even better. I found the idea of making a liquid that can be pulled by a magnet interesing because it is so unlike any other […]
Today we finally descided on what our project is going to be. After about 50 different ideas we all agreed on this one. It is a new way to view the world involving quantum dots being embedded in every surface and having a special lense that can be tuned to only display certain colors which […]
Today we looked into new materials. We saw a new type of glass that can be formed at room temperature instead of the extremely high temperatures needed to melt sand. By mixing two substances (one of which was called Sol gel) a goo can be made which then can be dried into glass. This allows […]
Today we talked about how nanotechnology can help with cancer. Right now we use chemotherapy, which is a form of radiation, to fight the cancer cells. The problem is that it kill ALL the cells. Doctors basically try to kill the cancer before they kill the whole patient. Obviously this is problematic so now they […]
In the morning we saw a video called “Imagining the 10 Dimensions” which I found interesting. It was not based fully on the accepted version of string theory but it was a cool way to think regardless. Here is Part 1 and Part 2 of the video. After the morning intro video we looked at […]
