A fascinating research on search engine bots’ behaviour beautifully represented with tree graphs and animation.

The ability to collect, store, and manage data is increasing quickly, but our ability to understand it remains constant. In an attempt to gain better understanding of data, fields such as information visualization, data mining and graphic design are employed, each solving an isolated part of the specific problem, but failing in a broader sense: […]

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, […]

Genomorama is a software program for interactively displaying multiple genomes. In this context, a genome refers to DNA sequence and an (optional) collection of annotations (indicating which DNA sub-sequences correspond to genes, RNAs, proteins etc.). Genomorama was designed to assist in comparative genomics, sequence comparison and sequence analysis. To this end, Genomorama provides a […]

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 […]

World Wind lets you zoom from satellite altitude into any place on Earth. Leveraging Landsat satellite imagery and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data, World Wind lets you experience Earth terrain in visually rich 3D, just as if you were really there.
Virtually visit any place in the world. Look across the Andes, into the Grand Canyon, […]
