Seeing is believing. Light has always perplexed humans and presents a puzzling contradiction about perception. I think perception is a topic full of gray areas. It has been proven that light is both a particle and a wave, a concept that is still rather difficult to completely comprehend. And then light also is necessary in […]
Walking into the CNSI auditorium today, I didn’t know what to expect. A midterm is a very intimidating word in itself but after only a week of lectures I hoped we weren’t expected to produce material similar to that of an actual college student who produce a midterm presentation after an entire semester. Fortunately, I […]
A focus of the day was medicine and nanotechnology, which I found interesting because I might want to study medicine. I have heard that nanotechnology could be the future of medicine, but I did not know what this really meant. A lab visit today provided a perfect example. We all use cell phones for calling, […]
I’ve often wondered if there was a connection between art, science, and even history. I am thrilled to have discovered that there indeed is. Hearing of how people in Europe incorporated nanoparticles in their lives in one of my lectures blossomed my interest on the subject. After some research, I found that recently announced […]
Today we learned a lot about the science behind contemporary art, such as differing color lights and other effects. We learned about three artists in particular: Ksuama, Flavin and Eliasson, whose artistic pieces are characterized by pintilism, lights, and physicality, respectively. This lecture really sparked my attention because I have seen Dan Flavin’s work firsthand […]
Nanomedicine demonstrates the future of our well-being and health. It is by definition “the medical application of nanotechnology.“ Nanomedicine will employ engineered molecular machine systems to address medical problems, and will use molecular knowledge to maintain and improve human health at the molecular scale. This useful and new technique of medicine offers tools for […]
Wednesday was another busy day with ArtSci with activities ranging from lectures on nanomedicine, cancer, and vaults to manipulating the Buckminster Balls at the zero@wave gallery. It was also pretty crazy that we actually saw cancer cells (they belonged to a woman who had breast cancer) when we visited one of the labs. It was […]
07.09.09 Our worldviews= the way we look at our world. One’s personal view of the world and how one interprets it; The totality of one’s beliefs about reality; A general philosophy or view of life. (as defined by Wikitionary) But then take a step back, and you realize that the world you view is just… LIGHT! And […]
Today a very cute old man came in to talk about NanoMedicine. Am I allowed to say he’s old? Is that offensive? Well I mean it in a superly awesome and good way. Anyways, he discussed the use of engineered molecular systems and molecular knowledge of human body to maintain. The different tools made with […]
Nanotechnology is one of today’s fastest growing fields. It has enormous potential. Nanotechnology can either revolutionize our world in ways that no one can possibly predict or it can lead to our destruction if it is not properly controlled and regulated. Nanotechnology is powerful because of it’s small size, but that size, thousands of times […]
