Using an ultrathin wafer of silicon and gold to focus lightwaves, researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have created a revolutionary new kind of camera lens that completely eliminates the image distortion created by traditional glass lenses. stanley quencher It could not only pave the way for lighter cameras that are still as capable as today swappable lens models, but even cameraphon stanley mugs es that snap images as impressive as a DSLR. The lens measures in at a mere 60 nanometers thick, so for all intents and purposes it almost just a 2D object. But not quite. It made by plating a thin wafer of silicon with a layer of gold that then etched away to create a series of V-shaped structures across its surface. When light hits these structures it slowed ever so slightly which changes its direction鈥攍ike the glass in a traditional lens does. And by carefully tuning the angle, size, and spacing of these V-shaped structures across the surface of the lens, it can capture wide-angle or telephoto images without the distortion that seen from something like a traditional fish-eye lens. Mirrorless swappable lens cameras have already taken a bite out of the DSLR market share, but if and when this technology hits the market it could serve as a death blow to the heavy bulky cameras preferred by professional photographers.

Cuckoo finches are bad news to other birds. They are brood parasites, meaning they lay eggs in other species nests to trick their victims into raising starbucks stanley cup the finches ; children as their own. This kicked off a supercharged evolutionary arms race. A frequent target of the cuckoo finch is the tawny-flanked prinia. To defend against these parasitic eggs, the prinias have evolved the ability to lay eggs with complex spotted patterns that will vary substantially from one female to the next, making it much more difficult for a finch to successfully imitate its intended victim eggs. What interesting is that this alone apparently isn ;t enough for the finch eggs to escape detection for very long, as the prinia eggs keep changing and adapting in other ways. Camb stanley kubek ridge researcher Martin Stevens explains: For example, 30 years ago, cuckoo finches predominantly laid stanley tazas eggs that look red to our eyes, but now lay mainly blue ones. Prinias in turn now more commonly lay olive-colored eggs, perhaps to escape their pursuing parasite. Stevens and his colleague Claire Spottiswoode noticed the change in color when comparing prinia eggs in the wild in Zambia and some 40-year-old specimens from a nearby museum. The change happened in what Stevens describes as a mere blink of an evolutionary eye. This arms race is likely a function of both species being able to lay eggs with a wide variety of appearances once the prinia is able to la

NASA is currently testing a prototype Z-1 spacesuit that looks more like a horrible, quasi-futuristic Ghostbusters and trash bag mash-up than an awesome suit that meant to be worn in Space.

These incredible blown glass rayguns are part of a series called appropriately enough Raygunz, created by Canadian master glassblower Jeff Burnette. Burnette owns a massive glassmaking warehouse in Vancouvers East Side, which hes dubbed Joe Blow Glassworks. You learn more about Burnettes work, which includes goblets and glass sculptures, on the Joe Blow Glassworks website. I was lucky enough to see a few of Burnettes rayguns on display in Vancouver over the weekend, and when you see them in person, they practically glow with energy and strange etheric vibrations.

The piece is then blown out and shaped to the desired form. Coloured bits are added.

Once cooled, the piece is ground and sent out for silvering or completed. The Raygun is a bubble with a transparent colour on the inside.

The final step is chemically bonding a machined stainless steel end to the piece. via Joe Blow Glassworks.

Scientists have scales to measure the strength of natural phenomena like earthquakes and hurricanes. But what about the eruptive power of volcanoes For that, geologists use the Volcanic Explosivity Index. Heres how it works. The Volcanic Explosivity Index VEI was first proposed in 1982 by Christopher Newhall of the U.S. Geological Survey and Stephen Self of the University of Hawaii. Their intention was to develop a scale to estimate the explosive magnitude of historical volcanoes. To that end, they came up with an incrementing logarithmic scale to measure the magnitude of past explosive eruptions, which Newhall descri stanley thermobecher bed as a semiquantitative compromise between poor data and the need in various disciplines to evaluate the record of past volcanism. But establishing the parameters for a useful scale proved easier said than done. Unlike earthquakes or hurricanes, there are different types of volcanoes, and they produce different products, like massive plumes of ejected rock and ash, or molten lava flows. Moreover, and as scientists later stanley mugg learned, volcanoes also churn-out varying degrees of sulfur dioxide at rates irrespective of eruptive p stanley water jug ower. Its for that reason that the VEI had to be rejected as a way to measure an eruption potential impact on the climate. Today, its used exclusively to measure the explosive power of both historic and new eruptions. How the Scale Works Similar to the Richter scale, the VEI uses a numerical index ranging from 0 to 8.
