Dark-field microscopy image of ~90 nm gold nanospheres on oxidized silicon substrate. Gold nanoparticles efficiently scatter light due to phenomenon called Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance. So despite the diffraction limit of the optical microscope, they can be observed as bright points against dark background. Each green dot is the scattering from a SINGLE gold nanosphere, so each gold particle can be used for single particle studies. The intense blue and white colors in the center of the image are the combined result of scattering from gold nanoparticles and residues of stabilizing polymer still covering them. Scale bar 10 μm.
Substrate: probably Acer platanoides.

A screencap from a generative art program that uses Jared Tarbell's *Substrate* algorithm.
I've ported it to a Windows 10 screensaver app, and added some new geometries, textures, and generative color palettes.
Also, some color palettes stolen from Van Gogh, Mondrian, Monet, and others. See if you can tell which palettes are from classic art and which are generated by robots. (The iteration above took its palette from Jackson Pollock, I believe.)

I quite like this Fluval Flora tank kit. A few issues though:
1. The 4.4lb bag of plant substrate that it comes with is not enough. Had to buy a second 4.4lb bag (of their shrimp substrate) to get decent depth for the plant roots.
2. The "molded rock background" seems to be made of styrofoam (or something very similar) so it's too light. It comes glued to the back pane of the tank but when I put in water to clean out the tank, it came right off. So the only thing currently preventing it from shooting right out of the tank is the lamp clamp on top. The shrimp do love it though.
3. The mini CO2 setup is quite easy to use. Strange thing is that the 20g CO2 disposable cartridges are currently nowhere to be found online here in the US. Luckily I think a LFS carries them so I'll have to stock up from them if possible.
4. Surprised that neither this nor the Ebi tank comes with a heater. Picked up a small submersible 25W that maintains it at around 78 degrees F.
Nickel-tungsten substrates like this shown by Amit Goyal of Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Materials Science and Technology Division are rolled to make a roadbed for high-temperature superconducting wire.

La cosiddetta torre pendente di Pisa (chiamata semplicemente torre pendente o torre di Pisa) è il campanile della Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, nella celeberrima Piazza dei Miracoli di cui è il monumento più famoso per via della caratteristica pendenza.
Si tratta di un campanile a sé stante alto circa 56 metri, costruito nell'arco di due secoli, tra il dodicesimo e il quattordicesimo. Pesante 14.453 tonnellate, vi predomina la linea curva, con giri di arcate cieche e sei piani di loggette. La sua pendenza è dovuta ad un cedimento del terreno verificatosi già nelle prime fasi della costruzione.
L'inclinazione dell'edificio attualmente misura 5° rispetto all'asse verticale. La torre di Pisa rimane in equilibrio perché la verticale che passa per il suo baricentro cade all'interno della base di appoggio.
______________________________
A torre pendente de Pisa (em italiano Torre pendente di Pisa), ou simplesmente, Torre de Pisa, é um campanário (campanile ou campanário autônomo) da catedral da cidade italiana de Pisa. Está situada atrás da catedral, e é a terceira mais antiga estrutura na praça da Catedral de Pisa (Campo dei Miracoli), depois da catedral e do baptistério.
Embora destinada a ficar na vertical, a torre começou a inclinar-se para Sudeste, logo após o inÃcio da construção, em 1173, devido a uma fundação mal construÃda e a um solo de fundação mal compactado, que permitiu à fundação ficar com assentamentos diferenciais. A torre atualmente se inclina para o sudoeste.
A altura do solo ao topo da torre é de 55,86 metros no lado mais baixo e de 56,70 metros na parte mais alta. A espessura das paredes na base mede 4,09 metros e 2,48 metros no topo. Seu peso é estimado em 14 500 toneladas . A torre tem 296 ou 294 degraus: o sétimo andar da face Norte das escadas tem dois degraus a menos. Antes do trabalho de restauração realizado entre 1990 e 2001, a torre estava inclinada com um ângulo de 5.5 graus,[1][2][3] estando agora a torre inclinada em cerca de 3.99 graus.[4] Isto significa que o topo da torre está a uma distância de 3.9m de onde ela estaria, se a torre estivesse perfeitamente na vertical
______________________________
The Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italian: Torre pendente di Pisa) or simply the Tower of Pisa (La Torre di Pisa) is the campanile, or freestanding bell tower, of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa. It is situated behind the Cathedral and is the third oldest structure in Pisa's Cathedral Square (Piazza del Duomo) after the Cathedral and the Baptistry.
Although intended to stand vertically, the tower began leaning to the southeast soon after the onset of construction in 1173 due to a poorly laid foundation and loose substrate that has allowed the foundation to shift direction.
The height of the tower is 55.86 m (183.27 ft) from the ground on the low side and 56.70 m (186.02 ft) on the high side. The width of the walls at the base is 4.09 m (13.42 ft) and at the top 2.48 m (8.14 ft). Its weight is estimated at 14,500 metric tons (16,000 short tons). The tower has 296 or 294 steps; the seventh floor has two fewer steps on the north-facing staircase. Prior to restoration work performed between 1990 and 2001, the tower leaned at an angle of 5.5 degrees,[1][2][3] but the tower now leans at about 3.99 degrees.[4] This means that the top of the tower is 3.9 metres (12 ft 10 in) from where it would stand if the tower were perfectly vertical

When our last grapevine wreath lost their shells one by one, I started looking for a replacement substrate. Of course reading my favorite mosaic groups (MASGO) I decide on stryofoam. Then I spread prepmade thinset all over the wreath, sprinkled cushed shells and sand on a table, rolled the wreath in the shells(kinda like baking)and waited for them to dry. Next step .glued the inside of the wreath with smaller seashells. Some were "glued" with thinset, some were done with Dap. Nest step was doing the top part of the wreath, same way. The last part was tricky and I had to wait several days in between as I "glued" shells around the outside of the wreath. After the wreath was dry, I filled in any blank spaces with teeny tiny shells.
DH bought some really cool nautical rope at Home Depot and hung it for me. To keep from the wreath banging against the door we used that foam that is used around fireplaces etc if you have kids in the house.
I'm quite happy with the results and it fits in well with our Welcome..

Nepenthes rajah is an insectivorous pitcher plant species of the Nepenthaceae family. It is endemic to Mount Kinabalu and neighbouring Mount Tambuyukon in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo.[2] Nepenthes rajah grows exclusively on serpentine substrates, particularly in areas of seeping ground water where the soil is loose and permanently moist. The species has an altitudinal range of 1500 to 2650 m a.s.l. and is thus considered a highland or sub-alpine plant. Due to its localised distribution, N. rajah is classified as an endangered species by the IUCN and listed on CITES Appendix I.
The species was collected by Hugh Low on Mount Kinabalu in 1858, and described the following year by Joseph Dalton Hooker, who named it after James Brooke, the first White Rajah of Sarawak. Hooker called it "one of the most striking vegetable productions hither-to discovered".[3]
Nepenthes rajah is most famous for the giant urn-shaped traps it produces, which can grow up to 41 cm high[4] and 20 cm wide.[5] These are capable of holding 3.5 litres of water[6] and in excess of 2.5 litres of digestive fluid, making them probably the largest in the genus by volume. Another morphological feature of N. rajah is the peltate leaf attachment of the lamina and tendril, which is present in only a few other species.
The plant is known to occasionally trap vertebrates and even small mammals, with drowned rats having been observed in the pitcher-shaped traps.[7] It is one of only two Nepenthes species documented as having caught mammalian prey in the wild, the other being N. rafflesiana. N. rajah is also known to occasionally trap small vertebrates such as frogs, lizards and even birds, although these cases probably involve sick animals and certainly do not represent the norm. Insects, and particularly ants, comprise the staple prey in both aerial and terrestrial pitchers.
Although Nepenthes rajah is most famous for trapping and digesting animals, its pitchers are also host to a large number of other organisms, which are thought to form a mutually beneficial (symbiotic) association with the plant. Many of these animals are so specialised that they cannot survive anywhere else, and are referred to as nepenthebionts. N. rajah has two such mosquito taxa named after it: Culex rajah and Toxorhynchites rajah.
