Hello Class! Today, I would like to address two questions today. Let us start with the first question. Can art and science truly be combined to create a better science and art? Well, I would have to reply yes and no. First of all, through this camp, each and everyone of us has been exposed […]
Today was a very hands-on day as we spent most of the afternoon working on fairly simple yet interesting lab projects. The first project involved the creation of ferrofluid. Essentially, the ferrofluid was a highly magnetized viscous, black liquid that was easily manipulated through the use of a small magnet (as pictured in the […]
Our lecture today focused on how science and art lead a symbitic life. This can be seem in new technological inventions and ideas and art. We saw a video about a car show in Japan, showing new cars that can turn with its wheels in place, cars with smaller cars within them, and cars with […]
July 10, 2009 There are 3.4 million cases of anemia in the United States with a rate of about 4,500 deaths per year. Anemia is a condition in which are not enough healthy red blood cells in the body, which can be detected when there is an insufficient level of hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin […]

FerroFluids!! A magnetic liquid that we manipulated with a small magnet. I found todays experiments very interesting and fun. Though making it was a slow process, it had to be exact and done according to the directions like baking. One thing off and the whole experiment could go wrong. The time and patience was worth […]
Midterms!!! HAHA I am kind of flabbergasted at some of the presentations, they were hysterical. I do not know where to start, from Marcus’ rap or to Laura’s vampire grenade. I had a really good time. The ideas were all pretty good, some were kind of conservative and others were more out of the box. […]
Early in the first week a counselor had mentioned that at nano scales, substances have properties that wouldn’t make sense. In other words nanoparticles have properties that seem to break the laws of physics. I never really understood this concept and in fact I never attempted to learn it. It really didn’t seem logical until […]
The Fowler muesum of art was very nice. It was a cool change of pace to what seems to be the intense science that we have been learning. Seeing the art of the Australian natives was amazing, the patterns pretty psychedelic and i was pretty inspired. The plasma lab was very crazy. The had this […]
The boundaries that man has put upon the creation of new technology is the aftermath of catastrophic events such as the atomic bomb and other weapons of mass destruction. The lecture today was a very thought-provoking, the ideas were asking for debate and interaction. A new portable device that enables you to access everything in […]
