Based off of Bandai's 1/100 Grimgerde model from Gundam: IBO. This is a re-imagining of the sleek Grimgerde mecha, as if it had been built by the Aperture Science corporation from valve's hit video game Portal
When science and balloons come together it means fun! Static electricity is taught at Ensley Branch Library's Science Club.
Researchers in NREL's Basic Sciences and Computational Sciences Center are working together on a novel way to use green algae to produce hydrogen directly from water and sunlight, that when recombined with oxygen in a fuel cell, produces clean energy without pollutants.

Construction progress on the historic building and the assembly of the tilt-up panels for the new addition.

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.

At Idaho National Laboratory, Steve Novack holding a sheet of solar nanoantenna materials.
Research have devised in inexpensive way to produce plastic sheets containing billion of nanoantennas that collect heat energy generated by the sun and other sources. The technology developed at INL, is the first step towards solar energy collector that could be mass-produced on flexible materials. The sheets could one day be manufactured as lightweight "Skins" that power everything from hybrid cars to ipods with higher efficiency than traditional solar cells.

Me: *bending over* Lemme try this...
Corvin: I'm not sure what you're doing.
Me: *about to kiss the concrete* If I pull down my aperture, I can get the logo behind you defocussed...
Corvin: Oh, got some aperture science going on there!
Chewtoy: *confused head-tilt*
Corvin: See, it's a photography joke...

Several furries from San Diego and few from further abroad gathered at SDCC on Saturday to have fun with the public. Lots of smiles, lots of photo ops, and a few precious moments. Furry costumers pictured include Chewtoy, DarkStory (as Kroenen from Hellboy), Lockford, Ryka, Corvin, Zarafa, and Spottacus.
Our curriculum provides the skills necessary to work in the field of information technology, computer security, networking, data analytics, healthcare informatics, project management, or computer forensics. Our instructors have professional experience and understand the needs of industry and working adults. The instruction is a combination of interactive lecture, hands-on experience, real world case studies, group work, and research.
Only 12 out of a total 33 Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) undulator magnet are needed to create the first pulse of laser light.
The LCLS offers researchers the first-ever glimpse of high energy or "hard" x-ray laser light produced in a laboratory. It will provide the world's brightest, shortest pulse of laser x-rays for scientist study. It will give scientists an unprecedented tool for studying and understanding the arrangement of atoms in materials such as metal, semiconductors, ceramics, polymers, catalysts, plastics and biological molecules, with wide-ranging intact on advances energy research and other fields.

Near the end of the summer, I was asked by the publishers of Popular Science magazine to produce a visualization piece that explored the archive of their publication. PopSci has a history that spans almost 140 years, so I knew there would be plenty of material to draw from. Working with Mark Hansen, I ended up making a graphic that showed how different technical and cultural terms have come in and out of use in the magazine since it's inception.
Girls and parents alike love the Mc2 science doll characters. Have a look at the Project Mc2 Ultimate Lab Kit for multiple fun science experiments.
When I went out for the paper on Sunday noticed the moon high in the Western Sky, a quick consult with The Photographer's Ephemeris confirmed that the moon would be playing with the cranes as seen from this local; and as often happens there was more to discover, e.g. the nice shadow of a crane on the water from a light on one of the OUS/OHSU Collaborative Sciences Buildings cranes across the river.

Description: The presented finite element meshes of humerus and scapula were used to generate a computational model of an artificial shoulder that, within the Finite Element (FE) formulation, is capable of calculate wear rates in total shoulder prostheses for a certain type of arm movement. In orthopedics, FE models are able to predict pre-surgically the mechanical behavior of prosthesis. Indeed, quantitative data obtained from FE analysis may be an important resource for increasing the probability of successful therapeutic treatments, improving surgical planning, injury prevention and improving prosthesis design towards to better in vivo performances

After having his head grossly disfigured by the invading aliens' ray, Ted's growls and grunts were perceived as hostile intentions by Lynn and she dolefully realized that it was up to her to destroy what was left of her husband and she had to do it before he reached her.

I only had 2 hours here this visit,so I just managed to capture the ground floor.
The Science Museum is one of three major museums on Exhibition Road in South Kensington, London. It was founded in 1857 and today is one of the city's major tourist attractions, attracting 2.7 million visitors annually.
Like other publicly funded national museums in the United Kingdom, the Science Museum does not charge visitors for admission. Temporary exhibitions, however, may incur an admission fee. It is part of the Science Museum Group, having merged with the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester in 2012.
