Pupils from Monteney Primary School, Sheffield, and Holy Trinity School, Barnsley, visit the University of Sheffield for a buckyball workshop with Professor Sir Harry Kroto. The session was part of Kroto Day, when Sheffield graduate Sir Harry, who the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for discovering a new form of carbon known as buckminsterfullerene, visited his old department.

Science fiction author James Blish relaxing in the living room at Arrowhead, his home in Milford, Pennsylvania, some time in the 1950s.
He was either listening to someone speak, or to music; his Scott tube system (which I still have, in working condition) was in the cabinet to the left, (vinyl recordings to the right) and as you can see, the doors are open. He was definitely listening to something, I recognize the expression, having seen it many times.
The house saw many visitors in those days that SF devotees would likely recognize. Editors, authors, agents, fans, artists, friends and relations, it was a busy, busy place. SFWA (Science Fiction Writers of America) was founded in this very room by James Blish, Damon Knight, and some others. Early "fanzines" were mimeo'd here, and the earliest "filk" was sung (in fact, he founded a record label, "Vanguard", upon which was recorded some early filk at 78 RPM... I'm looking for one of those, please contact me if you have one!) Truly a historical place and time for the entire SF community.
At Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Conceptual drawing shows a flexible organic photovoltaic made from an acceptor of PCBM (buckyball with earth) and the donor of deuterated conducting polymer. The polymer blend in the device (bottom) will harvest the sunlight to generate electrical power. (carbon:blue; sulfur: yellow; hydrogen: white; deuterium: purple).

Author: Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919)
Dater: 1866
Description: The tree of life according to Haeckel, with the three branches Plantae, Protista, Animalia. The key point of Haeckels'work was that all beings, including man, had a monophyletic origin.

We did the grid on the computer, then printed out and she wrote out the assignment and drew the animals. All unaided. P.S. I did not know a few of the facts in this matrix. I love how having children makes you realize you diminish, you aren't as smart as you thought, you kind of get weaker, they get stronger, and one day you die.
Great work here, though. That's my girl!
The first recipient of the residency staged under the auspices of the Art & Science Network is María Ignacia Edwards (CHL). She was selected from among the 140+ applicants from 40 countries and will be spending her residency at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile and at the Ars Electronica Futurelab in Austria. Picture is showing ALMA site in Chile.

THE SILICON VERTEX TRACKER OF THE BABAR DETECTOR AT THE STANFORD LINEAR ACCELERATOR FACILITY.
THE SILICON VERTEX TRACKER IS THE HEART OF THE BABAR EXPERIMENT AT SLAC. HERE PHYSICISTS ARE PUTTING THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON IMPROVEMENTS TO THE DETECTOR. THE BABAR DETECTOR, PART OF SLAC'S B FACTORY SYSTEM, WILL PRODUCE B AND ANTI-B MESONS, PARTICLE-ANTIPARTICLE PAIRS SO THAT SCIENTISTS CAN INVESTIGATE THE MATTER-ANTIMATTER ASYMMETRY IN NATURE.

The Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS), Berkeley Lab and its National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), and UC Berkeley's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Department of Electrical Engineering are collaborating to conduct an unprecedented experiment in the area of hydrodynamic monitoring to advance our understanding of water conditions in the Delta. Understanding how the water flows through the Delta on its way to pumping stations and San Francisco Bay is imperative to balance conflicting demands on this critical resource.

Despite some rainy weather, work inside the power station, construction of surface parking and the new addition for the planetarium theater continues.

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.

Science Week is Ireland's biggest annual promotion of science to the general public. With this year’s programme of events, Dublin City Libraries aims to promote the relevance of science, engineering and technology in our everyday lives, and to make the science around us ‘real’ to children and adults alike.
The theme for Science Week Ireland 2008 is Science – Shaping Our World which celebrates the International Year of Planet Earth.
Admission to all events is free and booking is essential at the relevant library.
