Farmer & Brindley was a firm of architectural sculptors and ornamentalists based in London and created Science in the 1860. The object she holds indicates the speed of a steam engine.
Working on the SUBSA experiment. It stands for "Solidification Using a Baffle in Sealed Ampoules" which doesn't help much to understand what is going on admittedly. We were processing samples of metal alloys for researchers to observe how they are cast. Metallurgy is a hot subject for space research (not only because of the casting temperatures #dadjoke) because how metals form is complicated, very precise, and as metals are used everywhere on Earth improving them could have enormous benefits. As metals form, they grow crystals that resemble Christmas trees, and these crystals influence the strength of the metal. On Earth gravity influences how these crystals grow, so observing the process in space helps to understand the process, making it easier for researchers to create mathematical models. ESA has a facility called the Electromagnetic levitator in the Materials Science Laboratory to conduct research in this same domain. After the bronze age and iron age this type of research could lead to another metal age... 😎 An observant viewer will notice that I am wearing different t-shirts – no I didn't spill any (they are in sealed ampoules remember!) but the experiment runs over many days, actually the Materials Science Laboratory was running similar metal batches in Columbus too!
L’expérience SUBSA sur laquelle j’ai déjà travaillé plusieurs fois (les plus observateurs auront remarqué les t-shirts différents 😉) : en gros, c’est de la métallurgie spatiale. Les alliages sont un sujet assez chaud pour la recherche spatiale, et pas seulement à cause de leur température de fusion (je ne résiste pas à la blague de papa 😄). L’amélioration des alliages, omniprésents dans notre vie moderne, a évidemment un potentiel d’applications immense sur terre. Les métaux se forment en poussant comme des cristaux (avec une forme un peu sapin de noël si on a de l’imagination), et ces processus sont fortement influencés par la pesanteur, d’où l’idée d’enlever ce facteur pour mieux les appréhender. Après le bronze et le fer, ces recherches pourraient donner naissance à un nouvel âge du métal 👍

SHOWN IS THE NATIONAL SPHERICAL TORUS EXPERIMENT - UPGRADE (NSTX-U) AT PRINCETON PLASMA PHYSICS LABORATORY.
The NSTX completed an upgrade in 2015, which makes it the most powerful experimental fusion facility or tokamak, of its type in the world. The upgrade spherical facility maintains a high-performance plasma under conditions of extreme heat and power. The results could strongly influence the design of future fusion reactors.

Out and about in Sudbury taking some photos. I got rained on quickly and then it was over in a minute
Have a great week friends

Everywhere I go in this house, I find your little science experiments; sitting on countertops, growing in cupboards, and taped to windows.

Blue hour was almost over. The sky was almost dark now. The last image I took of Science World had 2 sailboats bobbing in the water, not too noticeable but still present and I wanted a shot of just Science World and the dark blue sky with the clouds. I went as wide as I could with my lens and wished I had an ultra-wide angle lens with me. Couldn't fit it in landscape format from this viewpoint so I had to flip the camera into portrait mode. Really wishing I had an L-bracket at this point as the ball head and Arca Swiss style base I was using wouldn't let me get the camera perfectly vertical. I ended getting it close and straightening in post.
Oldest science. part of mathematics concerned with questions of size, shapes, relative position of figures and properties of space. measurement, properties, and relationships of points, lines, angles, curves, planes, and shapes, two and three-dimensions.

Built for DA4: Hammer to Fall, the Military Science R&D Lab requirements were that it had at least three levels with a means to transport between them, built in the lego set "dollhouse" style, five minifigs, a support vehicle, and weapon being tested on a firing range, with bonus points for making lego box art.
The Institute accomplishes those tasks:
Build style, check.
Five Minifigs- Ted, the accountant on the top floor. Lisa and Frank, the weapons testers near the cannon. RDJ23, the science bot on the far side. And (unnamed) the test subject in field.
To simulate a weapons range I created a small set of targets for the main gun.
To transport through the building the figs use a series of bi-color portals. Each color corresponding to the same color on another floor.
Finally, they have a catapult ramp for a little scoot.
Hope you enjoyed it! Look for more DA4 stuff in that group over there!
A view along the side of the Glasgow Science Centre.
It's a bit of an odd angle, I know, but it kept catching my eye as I flicked through my archives...
Rocket science in progress. I found this fence/gate in Disney California Adventure Park at Disneyland. This was behind the washrooms near 'Soaring over California' ride in a flight themed area of the park. I took this picture thinking to put a print on my son's door when he is older.
