DR JAY PETERSEN ADJUSTS THE LARGE GONI-OMETER INSTALLED IN A SPECIALLY SHIELDED CAVE OF THE A W WRIGHT NUCLEAR - YALE.
THE CAVE IS UNDER 20 FEET OF EARTH AND HAS 3 FOOT WALLS, FLOOR AND CEILING OF A SPECIAL CONCRETE CONTAINING NONE OF THE COMMON NATURALLY RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCES (E.G. THORIUM AND POTASSIUM) SO THAT THE NORMAL RADIATION BACKGROUND LEVEL IS LESS THAN ONE THOUSANDTH OF THAT IN A TYPICAL RESIDENCE. THE PROJECTILE BEAM FROM THE ACCELERATOR ENTERS FROM THE RIGHT, AND PASSES THROUGH THE TARGET UNDER STUDY IN THE CENTRAL HEMISPHERICAL CHAMBER BEFORE EXITING TO THE LOWER LEFT AND BEING STOPPED IN AN UNDERGROUND BEAM DUMP OUTSIDE OF THE CAVE. ONE OF THE LARGE, COMPUTER CONTROLLED GAMMA RADIATION DETECTORS IS SHOWN ON ITS OVERHEAD MOUNT TO THE LEFT OF DR. PETERSEN, A NUMBER OF SUCH DETECTORS MAY BE USED SIMULTANEOUSLY UNDER ON-LINE COMPUTER CONTROL IN THE MEASUREMENT OF CHARACTERISTIC RADIATION PATTERNS FROM THE TARGET NUCLEI UNDER STUDY FOLLOWING THEIR STIMULATION BY THE PROJECTILES IN THE BEAM.

A science cake for a science party. I am still not very good at people, but I'm improving.
The lab bench and stools are made from rice krispie treats covered in icing. The were more popular than the actual cake. Kids are idiots.
It probably all needed more time to dry. I need to plan these things better and start earlier. Time management.
The cake is banana chocolate swirl. My favourite. I think Lorelei chose it by accident based on what she saw in the fruit bowl. It's covered in vanilla buttercream, which is really sloppily applied. Again, time management.
The Middle School Science Fair was held on May 28 in the Great Hall of the Center for Well-Being. The exhibits ranged from a lava lamp and lemon battery to a water powered grist mill and a study on which brand of diaper is most absorbent.
OU's oldest building, named Science Hall, was completed in 1904, as was a sister building, the Carnegie Library, which still faces across the oval flanking Evans Hall. (The Sooner Story, page 20)

The beginnings of the Computer Science building, being built on a parking lot in front of the E-Quad.
Freya is very proud of putting all the parts back correctly!
"Discover the wonders of science at Adventure Science Center - a world of interactive adventures that inspire imagination and curiosity.
Established in 1944, the Children’s Museum of Nashville resided on 2nd Avenue South in downtown Nashville. World War II was coming to an end and the nation was beginning to look to the future. Sgt. John Ripley Forbes’ vision for Nashville’s future was focused on children. His enthusiasm for a children’s museum sparked some of the city’s most prominent and influential citizens, including the museum’s first president, Vernon Sharp, Jr. A lease on the old University of Nashville building was signed in November 1944, and on Oct. 30, 1945, the Children’s Museum of Nashville opened its doors to the public.
In 1952, the Center opened the first planetarium in Tennessee and named it after one of the founding Board of Trustees, Anthony Sudekum, whose family had contributed the funds to purchase the first star projector. The Museum moved to Old Saint Cloud Hill, known as Fort Negley in the Civil War, in 1974. The organization’s name changed over the years, most recently from Cumberland Science Museum to Adventure Science Center in November 2002."

NASA'S MOBILE LAUNCH PLATFORM AND THE CRAWLER THAT CARRIERS THE SPACE SHUTTLE TO THE LAUNCH PAD.
SANDIA'S TOM CARNE, SEEN IN FRONT OF THE MOBILE LAUNCH PLATFORM, HAS ASSISTED NASA WITH A SERIES OF TESTS BEGINNING IN NOVEMBER, 2003 TO DEVELOP THE DATA NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE RESPONSE OF THE SPACE SHUTTLE VEHICLE DURING ROLLOUT. THE MASSIVE MOBILE LAUNCH PLATFROM SITS ON THE CRAWLER WHICH TRAVELS AT 0.9 MPH, FOR ABOUT 5-6 HOURS TO TAKE THE SPACE HUTTLE FROM KENNEDY SPACE CENTER'S VEHICLE ASSEMBLY BUILDING TO THE LAUNCH PAD.

As part of Manchester Science Festival. The ‘Science Extravaganza’ brings together experts from across the faculty, creating family friendly workshops for members of the public. This year, the John Dalton Building became a Forensics Lab for a giant game of ‘who done it’, complete with detective notebooks and crime scene tape…
We were also proud to to host Combination Dance Co. working in collaboration with scientists from MMU, UCL and the Motor Neuron Disease Association. Dancers and martial arts performers staged an interactive dance exploring how we currently understand a motor neurone works, how MND affects the body and the effects MND has on those living with the disease.

Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture’s design for the Powerhouse Science Center re-envisions a historic riverfront structure as a hub for science education, exploration and promotion in the City of Sacramento. On the banks of the Sacramento River, the Science Center grows out from an abandoned power station building. As a principal component of the Riverfront activation, the Powerhouse Science Center anchors Robert T. Matsui Waterfront Park and borders the southern terminus of the 32-mile American River Bike Trail.
Vacant for over half a century, the structure undergoes a complete historic rehabilitation and the construction of a new floor level inside. A new two-story addition projects from the east side, containing a lobby, classrooms, offices and a cafe. A 110-seat planetarium is prominently on display with a zinc-clad hemispheric dome rising above the building’s mass. As representation of our place in the universe, the facade and building mass is sectioned by multiple planes, creating continuous vector lines that extend across the building and site. From satellites to world landmarks, the lines form connections with local and global points of interest.
The original PG&E Power Station B was designed in 1912 in the Beaux Arts Style by architect Willis Polk and was formally closed in 1954. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historic Places and the Sacramento Register of Historic & Cultural Resources. The Powerhouse Science Center is designed to achieve a USGBC LEED Rating of Silver.

We found two of these creatures on the sand at Antechamber Bay, Kangaroo Island, as shown on the map.
They were stranded at the high tide mark, several metres above the then low tide, within 25 metres of the rocky outcrop at the Northern point of the Bay.
Not knowing whether they were free swimming creatures or burrowers of some kind we left the one which was still alive where it was.
Thinking one was dead, and not having good enough light to photograph it in situ, I took one back to the house.
The following morning, as I moved it into good light I realised there was some slight response to my touch and so placed it on a flat surface and sprinkled some (fresh) water onto it. I hadn't thought to take some sea water.
These first four photos are the result.
We put a thin layer of water onto a plate and watched, astonished as it began to move quite purposefully from the centre of the plate to the outside edge and then over the edge, lifting (what we assumed to be) its "head" end and turning definitely left (away from the sunlight) and and then slightly towards the sunlight, before proceeding down over the edge of the plate onto the timber table.
We returned it to the plate and after some minutes it expelled a dark liquid which shot about 15 - 20 cms from its body and fell past the ledge of the table and in spots onto the floor.
We added a little more water and it expelled two more "bursts" of the dark brown liquid into the water.
After taking a series of pictures at very quick intervals (which make a staccato "movie" of its movements as described) we took it back to the beach.
We had a copy of Dakin's Seashores of Australia (details later) which made us think it a sea cucumber and likely to try to burrow near the rocks, so that's where we returned it
high-pressure synchrotron x-ray diffraction patterns of cerium-aluminum
Background: Ever since the Bronze Age, humans have experimented with combining different metals to create alloys having properties superior to either metal alone. But not all metals readily form alloys. For some pairs of elements the atoms are too dissimilar. Now, researchers in an international team, using high-brilliance x-rays from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory , have discovered that previously impossible alloys can be created by subjecting atoms to high pressure―opening possibilities for new materials in the future.
