Today’s lecture greatly changed my interpretation of the collaboration between science and art. Though art has always been in collaboration with various forms of technology, the lecture opened my eyes to the complementary relationship that science and art share. By completing projects such as stained glass, artists and scientists present their collaborations to the rest […]
Science, technology and art have always been something I have been intrigued to further advance my knowledge in. Listening to Giacomo Chiari incorporate all three realms was something remarkable. I was perplexed to realize how hand and hand all three subjects can be alike. Learning about the technology available to restore art using scientific data […]
Today, we were introduced to some of the similarities between art and science as we listened to our morning lecture on Visualization. It began with some ideas about how both art and science can serve to be useful tools for each other. The question “How do artists and scientists produce images?” was asked. Perspective was […]
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 […]
07.08.09 UCLA-Until the mid 1980’s the Vault wouldn’t be truly noted until a study conducted by Professor Leonard Rome who, at the time, was studying the birth and death of proteins. Even today this protein made structure, comprised of three major proteins and a small strand of RNA, remains to hold no known function. Today […]
Today we talked about how nanotechnology can help with cancer. Right now we use chemotherapy, which is a form of radiation, to fight the cancer cells. The problem is that it kill ALL the cells. Doctors basically try to kill the cancer before they kill the whole patient. Obviously this is problematic so now they […]
In the morning we saw a video called “Imagining the 10 Dimensions” which I found interesting. It was not based fully on the accepted version of string theory but it was a cool way to think regardless. Here is Part 1 and Part 2 of the video. After the morning intro video we looked at […]
There was a time when nanotechnology was a term that nobody knew. Some people even today think the iPod nano is nanotechnology. However there is an observable pattern that nanotechnology is becoming more and more part of pop culture. Now days, nanotechnology is being used in everyday objects that make people’s lives convenient such as […]
Just when scientists thought they explored the whole world, numerous more arrived. During the Renaissance, the light microscope was developed which was the first instrument that enabled the human eye to observe enlarged images of infinitesimal objects. This incredible invention brought fascinating detail of the tiny worlds invisible to the naked eye. About 1950, Dutch […]
