But a team of researchers from Arizona State University and the University of Maryland did. Up to now, dimple design has been more of an art than a science. For many [...]
If I had a supercomputer with 1,645 teraflops of processing power and over 360 terabytes of memory, I'd make a few cycles available to scientists working on climate modeling and renewable energy. "According to NCCS, key projects that will benefit from the Jaguar upgrade include, the Climate Change Initiative, which “aims to accelerate discoveries about [...]
After years of trying to figure out the first chord of “A Hard Day’s Night,” Jason Brown of Dalhousie’s Department of Mathematics decided to throw a little math at the problem and ran a Fourier analysis. You remember from your mechanical vibrations, mechanical controls, and digital signal processing courses that a Fourier analysis can be [...]
This is one of the many reasons I love typography and typographers. Jonathan Hoefler of Hoefler and Frere-Jones found an article in Science Magazine about a group of researchers who created an “Atomic Pen” that selectively swaps atoms of silicon with tin. Their technique, documented in today’s issue of Science magazine, makes use of an [...]
