Ahhh Harry Potter. As a whole, Harry Potter movies are disappointing and dramatically different from the exact storylines of their corresponding books.

Electron microscopes use beams electrons to illuminate a specimen at an extremely high magnified image. The electron microscope maginifies things so greatly that scientists can now identify subatomic structures and study them in greater depths can before with a light microscope. This is greatly beneficial to society because now scientists can identify cell structures, sub-atomic […]

As I continue with this program, I am really beginning to see all the possibilities that the future holds. Sometimes it seems like the human race really is not moving forward because it is difficult to the see the accomplishments that occur. This morning’s lecture, however, really made me realize all that is in store […]

07.14.09 UCLA – Harry Potter, a very highly regarded popular movie series, was premiering another movie again. And being at a nanotechnology camp we were asked to find ways and relations that us muggles (those who do not have magic capabilities) have with these wizards through innovative technology.
