“Sign up for a summer camp at UCLA or UCSD!” yelled my mom one December night. I somewhat reluctantly searched for a science/math/medical camp at the chosen colleges that I could attend without disrupting summer school or any other activities I would be having during the summer. Google Search: Sci|Art Nanolab Intrigued by the description […]
Today we presented our mid-term presentations which were an interesting way to experience the different ways of thinking of science and art. Each group thought of very different and unique idea that proved to have artistic importance as well as scientific. My group had trouble thinking up a topic in the previous days but finally […]
This days topic was Materials: coming to life. Throughout history, humans have measured ‘ages by which materials we utilize. Before, the most early humans simply used bones, rocks, and wood pieces to hunt and survive. However, today we have developed many new technologies that have proven to be more efficient and convenient. Quantum mechanics are […]
Technology is rapidly being improved and each day innovations are made in order to ease our lives on earth. The new Japanese cars that can navigate more easily provide an interesting new way of travel. Seeing the innovative models made me feel more and more sure that the world will achieve ‘the impossible’ faster than […]

Todays topic was Shape in Nature. The lecture started out describing how atoms were arranged in a specific packing sequence, this of which gives items certain properties such as ductility, hardness, and electronic and optical properties. This fact fascinates me in a way that if atoms are somehow manipulated, they can produce a different substance […]
The topic of today’s study was Art, Science, and Nature. We began in the auditorium listening to a lecture about the Six Degrees of Separation. In this presentation, Leonardo de Caprio/da Vinci was connected to Barrack Obama after only 6 steps. These presentations ranged from the introduction of “vaults” and nanobots to Michael Jackson performing […]
The topic of today’s study was Seeing the Invisible. During the first lecture, many subjects were covered including the many dimensions, the different types of microscopes, and the introduction to Nanoscience/Nanotechnology. At the beginning of the instruction, we were taught how visualization, on the nano-scale, helps develop views both artistically and scientifically. Unlike light microscopes, […]
