Today’s activities centered around sound. Tyler Adam’s “Sound and Science” lecture included brief history about technological advances related to sound. For example, the theremin is an instrument developed in 1919 which operates using the heterodyne principle. and involves the interaction of two radio frequency oscillators to produce sound. Sound technology seems to define our generations, such […]
Today we learned to a great extent about the vault. The vault is a particle found in a eukaryotic cell. These vaults have a big open space in the middle that scientists can hope to use one day in the future. Some uses of this might be embedding it with medicines that would attack cancer […]
Today i learned a lot about the preservation of museums art. This was an extremely interesting topic because it combined science and art into its lesson. One way that the preservation of art combined elements of art and science was the use of microscopes to determine the structures of paints. These paint structures can be […]
Today was very interesting because i got to see everyones different projects. My project was a lotion that is applied to your skin. There are nano bio illuminesence in the lotion that soaks into your skin and your muscles and when there is muscle. Different color lights are emmitted based on the intensity of the workout. […]
Today we started with an opening lecture by John and Carline about thinking “outside the box”. This was very cool because i saw good example of futuristic things. This will help me with my project because in my project I will need to “imagine the impossible” and have futuristic ideas. Some examples that i saw […]
Today’s lecture gave me new ideas about both medicine and art. The presentation sparked my interest about aspirin: I was interested to learn that aspirin poses an effect on one’s entire body, and thus, it may sometimes lead to complications. I was also very amazed at Pinar’s artwork, which is very unique, but shows so […]
Magic is a word that is sometimes used to explain things that would otherwise be thought of to be impossible. Many times, it is also used to explain something that is unknown. “How did the cookie get on the floor.” “I don’t know…magic?” The more and more things progress, however, the less and less “impossible” […]
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 […]
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. One of the more interesting relations the […]
