Apparently, new research suggests that the best option for recovery after a strenuous workout is a big bowl of pasta washed down with a few cups of strong coffee, no decaff though.
I've been working for a while now on a high performance fractal rendering program for Macintosh computers. It's main features are its speed, its unique take on coloring, and its ability to create striking looking 3D images. Here are some samples of 3D fractal images I've created.

Inspired by an ancient, but newly revisited, chart in the humor archives, I created a few more charts and graphs based on Meat Loaf songs. Check 'em out, and leave your answers to the Top Seven in the comments...
One of the newer art forms that I have come to enjoy for about two years is fractals. Now a lot of you probably know fractals as "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole"
But to me, as an artist, fractals are in essence, putative abstract artworks, designed mathematically on a computer, that can form irregular geometric shapes and patterns. The icon for our Sci-art category here at SciScoop is one of my fractals, surrounded by portions of various parts of scientific formulas such as the one for calculating the curvature of a wormhole.

US researchers have found that men are more likely to share their creative work online than women despite the fact that women and men engage in creative activities at about the same rates.

Many physicists believe our universe is undergoing a radial spatial expansion based on a discovery made by Edwin Hubble that distant galaxies are moving away from us. They also theorize the universe began with an explosion or big "Big Bang" because if one traces the motion of these galaxies back in time they merge at point in the past.
It has often been said that every storm cloud has a silver lining. As a person with both mental and physical disabilities, I don't get to do much in life, but unlike many I get to put much more time into my art. With permission from NASA to create artworks based on their astronomy images, I like painting bright colorful recreations, like a recent series based on the Doradus nebula.

The sorry tale of what went wrong with our hospitals
by Grace Filby
It is all very well going up to London to research the military archives at King's College and the medical archives at the Wellcome Library, but then when you find some really basic stuff, that was hot news and top of the list a hundred years ago, even Nobel prize-winning, how do you get the message out there politely to the powers that be?
