The Sound and the Fury

As I once mentioned in another blog entry, it seems like we’ve observed Sci|Art through all the senses in the past two weeks. In fact, just this Wednesday, we had Mr. Tyler Adams talk to us about sound and hearing. Additionally, we went to the anechoic chamber, which was quite the unique experience.   First […]

Today is  my last full day here at UCLA. It has been a good two weeks. I learned a lot of information about science and art, but mostly science. The labs were my favorite part of the experience. I think ferrofluids are really cool and I was blown away when I heard we were making […]

lasssttt dayyy

So today was the last day of our lives. Just kidding, just for the past two weeks. Our lives have been this class, I eat sleep and drink nanotechnology. Do you know what I was thinking about this whole class? That in some parallel universe somethings are definitely not happening and decisions are and are […]

Today was another one of the better days as we did some hands-on experiments, in addition to the daily introduction that included some many concept technologies that may be coming in the future. I found Nokia’s morph a great example of innovation and creativity as it was a convenient device that served many purpose. Another  […]

I still fail to understand the concept of the earth rotating on a dip-like structure in space. There was also some talk on fluid movement in air and water and as an […]

PLASMA! Today we visited the UCLA plasma labs. The first machine we saw teased us. No one knew too much about the fourth state of matter but I assumed that it moved like a viscus liquid. It didn’t. we saw “flashes” of plasma in the first machine each flash lasted only milliseconds and was being […]

Final Blog

So, today is the last day of this wonderful program, and I am quite sorry to realize this fact.  The dorm rooms are experiencing a high degree of chaos, people are running past our door at around one person per five seconds, and nobody seems to plan on sleeping.  Of course the universal plan is […]

Books & Plasma

Visiting both the plasma lab and the library of rare books today was an extremely unique experience. In the library, we were exposed to books that were worth up to the thousands of dollars just because of the history they went through. The book may be common, and printed in mass amounts worldwide, but it’s the […]

Day 6 – Harry Potter?

Hm the movie wasnt as good as I expected. But that is okay. Hollywood can most definatly not catch up to the amazing magic behind Harry Potter. Or is it magic? What keeps the brooms flying on mid air? Why is there a random lack of gravity when the balls are thrown out.  Well as […]
