Glass Microbiology
Jerram worked with scientists from the University of Bristol to create a series of glass sculptures of the planet’s most notorious microbes. The result is a curious tension between beauty and the deadliness of the pathogens. This depiction of Escherichia coli measures more than 100-cm long.

Saturn's Aurora Dancing
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope's Imaging Spectrograph took a series of snapshots of Saturn's aurora dancing in the sky. The ultraviolet images were taken on Jan. 8, 2004. This dissolve sequence shows the aurora appearing as a ring of light circling the planet's polar ring. Collisions with atoms and molecules make the gases in the planet's atmosphere glow in visible, ultraviolet, and infrared light.

["Magnetricity" only exists inside special types of crystals]
Researchers have discovered a magnetic equivalent to electricity: single magnetic charges that can behave and interact like electrical ones.
The work is the first to make use of the magnetic monopoles that exist in special crystals known as spin ice.
Writing in Nature journal, a team showed that monopoles gather to form a "magnetic current" like electricity.
The phenomenon, dubbed "magnetricity", could be used in magnetic storage or in computing.
Magnetic monopoles were first predicted to exist over a century ago, as a perfect analogue to electric charges.
Although there are protons and electrons with net positive and negative electric charges, there were no particles in existence which carry magnetic charges. Rather, every magnet has a "north" and "south" pole.

Capitalism: An Apathy Story

When Goldman Sachs wins the Nobel Prize in Economics next year, we will become mildly annoyed and then yawn in the best American tradition and go on allowing the Robber Class to steal us blind, hoping that there is another juicy divorce or celebrity death that can distract us from reality.
The Robber Class doesn’t frustrate me nearly as much as the Robbed Class. Robbers will be Robbers only as long as we in the Robbed Class let them.
Please, read more...

This Thursday, in a move that would make Baron von Louis Rothschild blush with shame (or burst with pride), Goldman Sachs will announce that it is more than doubling its bonus pool: from 11 billion in 2007 to 23 billion in 2008.[...]

Blog Action Day - 2009: Climate Change
[Energy is the key. Climate change is real for more reasons than most people are aware of. This post will not go into them. In any case, we have to agree that energy production has to become zero-pollutant. There's no two ways about it. Besides the emissions, it must become de-centralized. And lastly, it has to be free. Free energy is not fiction... it hasn't been for decades. But it has been kept very quiet. Now, the energy quarantine is ending, and we finally have access to these 'new/old' technologies...]

Play From the Heart
"Today, a young man on acid realized that
all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration;
that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.
There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream,
and we're the imagination of ourselves.
Here's Tom with the weather."
