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.

It's a science building in a great location near to downtown Vancouver. With IMAX cinema and interesting machines and puzzle this place is a heaven for the kids they can enjoy their times and learn at the same time.

Description: The intensity of the solar radiation between wavelengths 4000 A and 4100 A is shown in this spectrum at high resolution. The solar output shows numerous absorption lines, which result from the presence of a multitude of chemical elements, such as iron, in the Sun's atmosphere. Atomic transitions in a given element originate absorption features at specific wavelengths in the spectrum, thus allowing to identify the solar composition from the analysis of the Sun's light.

Description: New plant species found in Barrancos, named in homage to Portuguese Botanist and Professor Fernando Catarino. All pictures are leaves under Scanning Electron Microscope. The main feature that distinguishes this species from others of the same genus are the large papillae on the leaf, an adaptation to drought.
Technique: Scanning Electron Microscopy

One of our first outings in Los Angles was to The California Science Center, but more importantly the Samuel Oschin Air and Science Museum to see the space shuttle, Endeavour.
The museum was full of kids on field trips, and Sam was just as excited as they were to see the space shuttle. If not more.
EMI brain scanner, installed at Atkinson Morley's Hospital, Wimbledon in1971, by EMI, Hayes, Middlesex. This brain scanner, designed by Godfrey Hounsfield at EMI, was the first production model with which the first trials on patients were undertaken in 1971. These established CT (computerised tomography) scanning as a key imaging technology, particularly for the brain. The CT scanner was a runaway success: by 1977 there were 1130 machines installed across the world. The technique continues to be popular, but the more recent technology of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now being used for many of the diagnostic tasks previously assigned to CT.

"Admission is free - you can pay at the door"
It is free to go into the Science Museum but there is a strong suggestion that one should make a donation.
