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.
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.

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.

El Embajador David D Nelson y la Subsecretaria Judith McHale durante su encuentro con mujeres emprendedoras uruguayas.
La Subsecretaria Adjunta de Estado para Asuntos Públicos y Diplomacia Pública, Judith McHale, realizó una visita de dos dÃas en Uruguay.
McHale realizó un Tour guidado por Colonia del Sacramento y luego arribó a Montevideo. Su agenda, cargada de actividades, incluyó una reunión con las mujeres emprendedoras uruguayas que participaron el pasado año en la Conferencia Caminos hacia la Prosperidad, una reunión con los Fans de la página de Facebook de la embajada de EEUU en Uruguay, una visita a la Alianza Cultural Uruguay-Estados Unidos, una visita a Ingenio, la incubadora de empresas innovadoras ubicada en el LATU, participación en el Consejo de las Américas, entrevista personal con el Presidente Mujica y el Ministro de Relaciones Exteriores Luis Almagro y finalmente un Tour Guiado por el Teatro SolÃs.
El embajador de Estados Unidos en Uruguay, David Nelson, acompañó en todo momento a la Subsecretaria y a su delegación.

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.

Symposium in Memoriam Helmut Veith, was dedicated to Prof. Helmut Veith's inspiring collaborative spirit leading scientists and science from the labs on the streets among the people. Helmut Veith, FMCAD co-chair in 2016, and co-founder of Vienna Center for Logic and Algorithms at TU Wien - VCLA, tragically passed away in March last year. The Symposium featured presentations of invited contributions published in the Special Issue of the journal on Formal Methods in System Design in Memoriam Helmut Veith. The Symposium concluded with LogicLounge on Teaching Logic in Computer Science with Michael Huth (Imperial College London) and Janos Makowsky (Technion – Israel Institute of Technology).

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

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

Description: This W5 star-forming region in constellation Cassiopeia, known as the Mountains of Creation, is captured here by the Spitzer Space Telescope. It is a vast cloud of interstellar gas and dust, 6500 light years away, where intense star formation is occurring. Invisible to the naked eye, the light from these stars heats the gas and dust, making it glow in infrared light. Many background stars are also visible through the glow.
