LDEO / Columbia University
A color-coded graph shows the rise and gradual subsidence of underwater sound from the earthquake that touched off an Asian tsunami last December.
An analysis of the recording suggests a new way to monitor earthquakes in near real-time, providing critical information about an earthquake’s intensity and potential hazard that could supplement seismograph data, […]

Robotics show Lucy walked upright
The robot model shows that Lucy probably walked upright. Australopithecus afarensis, the early human who lived about 3.2 million years ago, walked upright, according to an “evolutionary robotics” model. The model, which uses footprints to predict gait, suggests “Lucy”, as the first fossil afarensis was called, walked rather like us. This […]

Bathsheba Grossman Sculpting Geometry: three dimensions between art and science

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

I’m an artist exploring the region between art and mathematics, and this is my gallery and storefront. My work is about life in three dimensions: working with symmetry and balance, getting from a zero point to infinity, and always finding beauty in geometry.
Here you’ll find my signature designs in metal, along with 3D laser-etched […]

Treehugger: Smart LED’s from Rensselaer will Adjust to Your Body Clock

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

LED’s not only will save huge amounts of energy (they don’t yet but theoretically can) but can be used in much more sophisticated ways. Because different colours can be so easily mixed, they see opportunities galore:
-lights that change colour through the day to adjust to our bodies circadian rhythm-”
-brake lights that can communicate with the […]

Art of Science Competition / Gallery

Thursday, May 26th, 2005

This spring we asked the Princeton University community to submit imagery produced in the course of research or incorporating tools and concepts from science. The response was overwhelming: more than 200 entries from nearly 100 individuals in 15 departments. We selected 55 of these works to appear in the 2005 Art of Science Exhibition.
The resulting […]
