Nano+Bio+Art

Reality is a funny thing, being that it is a unique experience for each person. No person shares their reality with any other. We are alone in a universe constructed completely by our minds, independent of any other equally real and elaborate reality that others might experience. We receive all of our information about reality through [...]

In our society, the renaissance man has all but disappeared. Our lives and vocational fields have become dominated by our professions. One can argue that this separation is necessary in a society as advanced as our own, but the opposite seems to be more likely. We have progressed past the industrial revolutions, and as we are [...]

An ocean’s waves are just one demonstration of a pattern that is found everywhere throughout nature. The concept of the wave is one that is fundamental to energy, and thus to our universe and everything in it. There are two types of periodic waves, transverse and longitudinal. Transverse waves are those with vibrations perpendicular to the [...]

Today marked the halfway point in the course. There are only five more days before our final presentations and our “graduation”. The project groups presented their ideas today, all of which were very interesting. I would like to use this blog in order to refine my own group’s idea and to present some of the resources [...]

The universe is infinitely more beautiful than any work of art. A celestial masterpiece on a canvas much too large to comprehend. Galaxies thousands of light-years away bath our planet in a flood of cosmic radiation, a small sliver of which can be detected by our eyes. The visible light spectrum. Color.  A stunning phenomenon that [...]

I had no idea of the variety of microscopes available to scientists in their experiments. That such massive and advanced machines are required to simply view atoms is both baffling and revealing. The incredible complexity of the microscopes reveal not only how small the objects being viewed really are, but just how foreign the universe on [...]

Nanotechnology is a field of infinite possibility. The new technologies, though inconceivably small, have the ability to revolutionize the very way we perceive and interact with our world. We are on the cusp of a nanorevolution, concepts that were only recently theoretical are now on verge of ubiquitous application. It will not be long before nanotechnologies [...]
