I love the work of Shintaro Ohata. His canvases are beautiful on their own stanley cup but, when he mixes painting and sculpture, he creates optical illusions that take his art to a whole new level. The sculpture and the painting merge into one with lighting that is not even there. The 3D people stanley us in his scene seem to be illuminated by the light sources in the painting鈥攚hich of course don ;t exist. He just uses the same tones to render the overall illumination onto the sculptures, creating an atmospheric effect and furthering the illus stanley thermobecher ion of lighting in the painting itself. When you look at them from a close up, they seem to mix into a single reality. The canvas itself becomes a window to different world because the sculpture breaks that window. Even while his work is not photorealistic, the end result feels incredibly real.

It a common little meta-game for those of us who are technically competent: keep your eye out in the movies for the most egregious technical misrepresentation you can fi stanley cups uk n stanley cup d.

After over three months, Windows Phone finally stanley cups has a Spotify app again. The app just went up in the stanley kubek Store, and is rolling out as a beta. You might have to wait a bit for it to show up. The original Windows Phone 7 Spotify app was built by a third party, funded by stanley us Microsoft to get Spotify on WP as fast as possible. That meant, though, that it couldn ;t be ported like any other app, and needed to be rebuilt. Which excuses some of the tardiness.

Take the blood of a freshly slaughtered animal. Mix thoroughly with preservatives and sand, pour into square molds, and bake for one hour. Allow to cool鈥攖hen build your home from the result. No, really. At least, that what Jack Munro, an architect with a passion for material rese Stanley cup website arch and experimentation, would like us to do. He been experimenting with weird stanley us and wonderful techniques to make new building materials, and he stumbled across one which uses fresh animal blood as its base. He explains: Animal blood is one of the most pro stanley cup lific waste materials in the world. The blood drained from animal carcasses is generally thrown away or incinerated despite being a potentially useful product. The invented process involves mixing fresh blood with a preservative EDTA, prevents bacterial / fungal growth on the material and sand. This mixture was then placed in a form work and baked for 1 hour at 70 C. This application of heat is sufficient to coagulate the blood proteins into a solid insoluble mass which bonds the sand into a stable solid. The resulting material is cheap, surprisingly strong and waterproof. Because it made of a prolific waste product鈥攗nless you eat a lot of boudin noir鈥攊t seems like a perfect building material for poorer countries around the world.

If you overheard someone talking about time crystals in a bar, you ;d think they were mad, or drunk. Or both. These things, theoretically, oscillate for eternity without any energy input stanley shop whatsoever鈥攁nd if that sounds like a perpetual motion machine, it because it is. Impossible, right But what if it was a Nobel prize-winning physicists making the suggestion Because that exactly the situation we find ourselves in. As Wired reports, Frank Wilczek from MIT has taken the rather bold step of announcing to the world that he thinks time crystals could exist. It wasn ;t a decision he made lightly鈥攊t could well see him ostracized by the wider scientific community鈥攂ut after months of work, he decided there was nothing else for it. Wired explains his idea: When matter crystallizes, its atoms spontaneously organize themselves into the rows, columns and stacks of a three-dimensional lattice. An atom occupies each lattice point, but the balance of forces between the atoms prevents them from inhabiting the space between. Because the atoms suddenly have a discrete, rather than continuous, set of choices for where to exist, crystals are said to break the spatial symmetry of nature 鈥?the usual rule that all places in space are equivalent 8230; Eventually, his equations indicated that atoms could indeed form a regularly repeating lattice in time, returning to their initial arrange stanley bottle ment only after discrete rather than continuous intervals stanley cup , thereby breaking tim Fnbo At 36 years old, this may be the world s oldest Twinkie
Fiber optics are the future of data transfer. The problem is that when that light signal reaches a machine, it must be converted into an electrical signal copper-veined devices can handle, resulting in speed bottlenecks. But Japanese engineers at NTT think their groundbreaking optical RAM will allow for an internet backbone comprised entirely of light-based components. According to PhysOrg and Nature Photonics, the optical RAM cells have memory gates that take 1s and 0s of binary code creates pulses of light by blocking or allowing light to pass. To make the memory cell, the team buried a very tiny strip of indium gallium arsenide phosphide in a small piece of indium phosphide. The outer portion was then etched stanley bottles with holes small enough to control the flow of laser light of a certain frequency. They left a path running though the middle of the material un- stanley vaso etched to provide a means for ligh stanley cup t from a laser to move in and out of the cell. When laser light is shone on the material, it follows the path through the memory cell and the refraction index is changed causing a pulse of light to either pass through on not, representing either a 1 or O state. Another pulse changes it to another state and so on. To help the memory material maintain its state, a second laser provides a constant stream of background light. At 30 nanowatts, this optical RAM also consumes five times less power than a flash drive, and Nature says that it has the potential to scale on a large level. And having
