Chandeliers

Chandeliers is an artwork by Luke Jerram commissioned by the Bristol and Bath Science Park. These solar powered kinetic chandeliers consist of dozens of glass radiometers, which shimmer and flicker as they turn in the sunlight. Altering their speed with the subtle changes in lighting conditions, the vanes of each radiometer speed up and slow down throughout the day.

Where Did Augmented Reality Come From?

image credit

Augmented reality is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. Over the past few decades, this artificial view of the physical world matured from a scientist's plaything to a part of daily life. But where did augmented reality come from?

Giant Prehistoric Crocodile Was 22 Feet Long

A crocodile more than 22 feet long that ripped prey to death and another huge croc that sucked prey to its doom were at the top of the European marine food chain 150 million years ago, a new study finds.

The enormous prehistoric crocodiles, Plesiosuchus and Dakosaurus, were such ravenous carnivores that their methods have been compared to today's killer whales and a famous, iconic, meat-loving dinosaur.

A Closer Look At The Icon For Apple's Maps App

iPhones used to come with Google Maps, but Apple booted Google after the two companies were unable to negotiate a new deal. The problem for Apple is, almost everyone hates their maps app. It's bad at directions, and some of the satellite photos are so distorted they make cities look like they were attacked by the Cloverfield monster.

Given all this, it's pretty funny that, when you take a closer look at the icon Apple has made for its iPhone maps app, you realize that the directions in the app make no sense. They are actually wildly dangerous.

Meet The Man Who Made Cowboys Love Rhinestones

Though it might seem like country-western stars sprang from the womb wearing golden boots and rhinestone suits, it wasn't always so. In fact, we owe such flashy styles to a Ukrainian-born Jew named Nudie Cohn (real name: Nuta Kotlyarenko), who was the first to mix Nashville and Hollywood, making it hip to be ostentatious.

While Cohn's name might not be familiar, you've certainly seen his famous Nudie suits, ranging from Gram Parsons' marijuana-leaf masterpiece to Elvis Presley's outfit of glitzy gold lamé. Taking his cues from burlesque stage shows, Cohn's business boomed in the flush years after World War II, when people weren't afraid to flaunt their wealth.

Hummingbirds' Backward Flight Is Efficient

image credit

The mechanisms behind the effortless way that hummingbirds fly backwards have been revealed in a recent study. Although hummingbirds routinely fly backwards, it has never before been scientifically described in detail.

University of California scientists Dr Nir Sapir and Robert Dudley, recorded the birds' flight biomechanics using high-speed cameras and oxygen uptake. They found that hummingbirds' backward flight uses similar amounts of energy to flying forwards.

Would You Recognize Yourself With A Completely Symmetrical Face?

image credit

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Right? Even though everyone's charmed by wildly different kinds of physical characteristics, that hasn't stopped our old friend science from stepping in and asserting truths about what we are biologically inclined to find appealing.

Julian Wolkenstein was intrigued that those with symmetrical faces were widely seen as more attractive, and set out to consider the idea in a series of portraits that mirror both the left and right halves of an individual's visage, resulting in two often quite different depictions of the same person.

Eat Your Kale

Kale or borecole is a form of cabbage in which the central leaves do not form a head. It is considered to be closer to wild cabbage than most domesticated forms. Turns out there's quite a bit of science behind this super food hype. Kale is an excellent, potent source of Vitamin K, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, fiber and carotenoids.

Research has also shown that kale contains 45 different flavonoids with a variety of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. The name borecole originates from the Dutch boerenkool (farmer's cabbage). Here in the Netherlands we usually serve borecole with a smoked sausage.

He might be a marked man but this artist has grand designs on becoming the world's first fully-tattooed head of state. Despite ink covering 90% of Vladimir Franz's body, he thinks he is the perfect candidate to become president in his home country of the Czech Republic. Mr Franz hopes to replace Vaclav Klaus, who has been President of the Czech Republic since 2003, and has already mounted an election campaign.

Vladimir Franz (53) is actually a drama professor at a prestigious Czech university, a talented painter and a successful opera composer. He also graduated from law school and has a doctorate in law but opted against a legal career because of the former communist regime.

10 Questionable Household Tips From The 19th-Century White House Staff

The upkeep at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a little more complicated than that of any typical suburban home. That's why Fanny Lemira Gillette, famed housekeeping guru and mother of the inventor of the safety razor, and Hugo Ziemann, the White House steward, teamed up in 1887 to write The White House Cook Book, a 'comprehensive cyclopedia of information for the home' and one of the best-selling cookbooks in U.S. history.

Aside from useful recipes for Chicken Jelly and Mayonnaise Fish, Gillette and Ziemann's book is full of expert housekeeping tips. Though we can't in good conscience advise trying most of these, here are 10 of the better examples.

Why Maps Shape Our Minds As Well As Our Planet

Maps have been at the centre of both politics and commerce down the ages, as well as key to the evelopment of the human imagination. In his new book, On The Map, Simon Garfield explains that, just as the empires of the past understood that marking territory was crucial, so Google and its rivals now wield influence.

They are even implicated in border disputes. Garfield describes how in 2010 the Nicaraguans cited Google Maps in support of their action when they invaded Costa Rica. Brian McClendon, who developed the mapping technology bought up by Google in 2004, told Garfield that the Nicaraguans argued that they were justified in moving onto the extra territory accidentally assigned to them.

The FanWing

FanWing is a new concept for a type of cyclogyro. It uses a fixed wing with a forced airflow produced by cylindrical fans mounted at the leading edge of the wing. Its makers claim it is the first horizontal-rotored integral lift and propulsion wing in history to sustain flight.

Patrick Peebles developed the FanWing concept in 1997. He formed the FanWing Company and applied for patents on his idea in several countries where aircraft are manufactured. In July 2005 the company advertised that the first FanWing aircraft concept has undergone wind tunnel tests and powered model flights. Recent design development has added a tail-plane which has increased the forward speed to the same as that of a helicopter.

Why Do Girls Throw Like A Girl?

image credit

You don't need to look any further than last week's news cycle to see proof that a girl can throw a ball: Erin DiMeglio, the first female quarterback to play high school football in Florida, made a splash by taking a spot on her team. But some research indicates it's an uphill battle.

It may be a borderline-offensive schoolyard taunt, but 'throws like a girl' has an element of truth. Studies suggest that girls often don't throw as well as boys. In fact, the 'throwing gap,' as it's called, is one of the biggest differences between the genders. It's not just the largest gap in physical activities - although it's the largest gap in that field - it's possibly the most salient gap.

Oldest Dental Filling Is Found In A Stone Age Tooth

You may not want to try this at home. A simple wax cap that was applied to a broken tooth 6500 years ago is the oldest dental filling on record. It adds to evidence that Neolithic communities had a surprisingly sophisticated knowledge of dentistry.

The recipient of the treatment was most likely a 24 to 30-year-old man, living in what is now Slovenia. His fossilised jawbone was found early last century near the village of Lonche and filed away in a museum in nearby Trieste, Italy. The jawbone remained in the museum for 101 years without anybody noticing anything strange. That was until scientist happened to use the specimen to test new X-ray imaging equipment, and spotted some unusual material attached to a canine.

It's hard to take the '70s seriously: the decade usually reduced to a shag-carpeted, bell-bottomed punch line. And while the '70s did include its share of garish colors and over-the-top looks, such bold moves were necessary to break out of a cautious, cookie-cutter society.

In reality, the period gave people the freedom to dress however they chose. Contemporary trends like eco-chic, native craftwork, vintage revivalism, gender-bending androgyny, or DIY thrift-shop fashion all originally flourished during the 1970s.
