Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

Looks like the Invisbility Cloak from Harry Potter is actually a possibility.  It’s not exactly invisible, but it’s at least showing what’s going on behind the person.

Craziness!

io9 delivers some cute graphics!  Superheroes as elements on the periodic table!  I think this would have made chemistry way more fun than it really was!

Billions spent in research to create miniature geek toys!

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

Not that there’s anything wrong with that!  Found some cool photos on BuzzFeed (via ToplessRobot) about the smallest USS Enterprise ever created – 1:1000000000 in scale.  Digging deeper, it looks like it was part of a Nanofabrication Micrograph contest that was looking for the coolest things you could build at a nano scale.  My favorite is the dancing women… for some reason it reminds me of the song ‘Simply Irresistible’ by Robert Palmer.

Here are some of the cool entries:

Nano Trek

Attack of the Clones

Dancing Girls (my favorite)

Not really, but that’s what I thought when I read this article.  I’m sure other people thought this as well!  Geek Love Affair Rating of 7.

I’m not sure God really wants us to find the God Particle!
