Mathematical Art
By Teknowizard, Section Post your sci-art
Posted on Mon Jun 23, 2008 at 10:54:26 PM PST

Art meets science 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.

Where Are We Going?
By The Imagineers, Section News

Astronomy 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.

The Doradus Nebula

Posted on Tue Jun 17, 2008 at 07:50:54 AM PST

Astronomy 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.

Medicine 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?
