Today we learned about different methods in nanoscience research. The day opened with a presentation by Rita and Gau that focused on visualization, art, and science. Visualization is the technique of creating an image, diagram, or other visual to express an idea. I knew there were multiple methods of producing an image in art such […]
Thinking about perspective and expression through science and art makes me more conscious of the natural world as well as my surroundings. It seems almost too simple that the sciences and arts should be so closely related, but at the same time, they are worlds apart. Literally. I can’t even fathom how forward-thinking Leonardo da […]
Today we made the connection between nanotechnology and its practical applications to life and health care. This morning’s lecture began with six degrees of separation where we made the correlation between technology, nanoscience, and pop culture (books and movies). The similarities between art and science are beginning to come together. Following our morning lecture, we […]
07.07.09 So then. Tuesday was the first “real” day of our program! We learned about microscopes. Just beginning to take the first glance into a super duper microscopic world. Woohoo! So what did I have down in my personal notes? X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopes, transmission electron microscopes, and atomic force microscopes. And we even […]
Today we learned a lot about nanotechnology and its relation to medicine and nature. We learned about the research that is being conducted to find an alternative to chemotherapy through the use of nanotechnology and nanobots. They would target only the diseased cells and spare the healthy ones, causing the patient a lot less suffering […]
In class on Tuesday, we discussed visualization in relation to science. I thought that the topics were interesting because whenever I hear the word “visualization,” I only think of art as in paintings, drawings etc. that were shown at the beginning of the presentation. However, through the lecture I also learned about the visualization in […]
