very engaging cellphone photos!

(and thanks so much on the info on the hyperbolic geometry!)

a moisturizer without glycerin

i just wrote to this lab to ask them exactly how their moisturizer works. on their site they say it's made for people who live in the desert! i've been looking for years and years! i just had to let you know cause i'm so excited. i'll let you know what they say if they write back.

I never thought I'd like a photo of donald trump. But here it is. Very smart. Creepy and fake. So The Donald.

I love these pieces. They are so beautiful and are functional.

a conch shell

There is an odd one of people on a bus. Which if you read about it is actually one corpse being repositioned again and again. The conch shell is very beautiful.

an interesting article on hyperbolic geometry

Ok. This one has a nice visual – the crocheted model of pseudosphere (the hyperbolic equiabvalent of a cone) – but I'm really posting this for you Linda because the article is pretty interesting.

This one is on another interesting online magazine called Cabinet Magazine.

born magazine is an interesting project which teams visual artists with poets. Nice.

The way the photographer is being looked at in these photo's is so uneasy.

Daily Dose

Be sure to check out the 'dailydose' guys photo site. He is such an incredible photographer. No matter what he's photographing it turns out interesting? How the heck does he do it?

The first annual art of science exhibit at princeton. This image is the wake created by a plate pitching back and forth. Quite beautiful.

The Rock Blooms

James Nehlsen GS
Department of Chemical Engineering
This unique semi-organic mineral structure is the result of a slow chemical reaction. The reaction occurs spontaneously between alkanethiols, which are simple sulfur-containing organic compounds, and lead oxide. Here, the oxide is a surface coating on a coil of metallic lead wire that forms naturally in moist air. The structure consists of layers of lead alkanethiolates, a stable compound that is solid at room temperature and has a distinct yellow color. The layers grow outwards from the surface of the wire as the reaction proceeds, curling into “petals.” But be careful, beautiful though it may be, this “flower” is toxic. The structure grows slowly upward as the wire is uncoiled by the growing petals, eventually filling the jar in which the reaction occurs. This structure took more than a week to grow. A less delicate but faster growing form of this material can be used to remove polluting sulfur compounds from gasoline during the refining process.

SECOND PRIZE WINNER
This image illustrates evolving dynamical patterns formed during the spreading of a surface-active substance (surfactant) over a thin liquid film on a silicon wafer. After spin-coating of glycerol, small droplets of oleic acid were deposited. The usually slow spreading process was highly accelerated by the surface tension imbalance that triggered a cascade of hydrodynamic instabilities. Such surface-tension driven flow phenomena are believed to be important for the self-cleaning mechanism of the lung as well as pulmonary drug delivery.
