A sea of faces,

With Jason De Caires there are schools of glittering silver-white fish swoop past a statue of a man hunched over a workbench, the first seabed artwork in a new underwater museum in Mexico's Caribbean Sea. The cement sculpture, called "The Collector," shows a figure who records bottled treasures in logbooks. It weighs four tons and is anchored 26 feet under the sea. Divers watch a yellow tail dam selfish nibble on algae growing from the sculpture's pant leg, which its creators hope will eventually sprout colorful coral. The aim is to lure some of the 800,000 tourists who visit Cancun's vast marine park each year -- many during April's Easter week holiday -- away from natural coral reefs battered by hurricanes, pollution and global warming. About 400 life-size casts will be submerged off the resort of Cancun by the end of 2010. It is hoped that the low-acidity cement figures, designed to be anti-corrosive and mimic rock, will be transformed over time into artificial reefs. Some will be in shallow waters for snorkelers to enjoy. The 400 figures, weighing 180 tons in total and to be named "Silent Evolution", will be submerged in a barren, flat expanse of the park, which lies between Cancun and nearby islands.

"I wanted to make an impressive landscape where you can swim through a sea of faces," said Jason de Caires Taylor, the British artist behind the "Sub aquatic Museum".With some of the sculptures carved from living corral art view guesses he did, form some what of a fascination even if it only to the marine species.

DNA OF FISH.

New and exciting developments, photos of endangered fish. Brought to you with specular imagery.well Not all fish look like fish but a more serious note, little or no documentation of fish is been done or the fish that live in crude oil as well.

Deep Space.

Getting into space or reaching deep space outside sun rays, means doing the calculations and finding the right path this is not that easy. But several countries and private operators are trying just that, hit deep space. only one probe to date has reached deep space that is Voyager. There should be a a beckon at least on any craft. Going true space can be done with a self powered solar sail technology with the use of gravitational motion. As technology becomes more simple the objective, being for an electromagnet self build probes so they can grow, preferably probes that can think and expand. Is this just an delusion, the answer is no. With few resources one person could probably do all of this. clever use of balloon technology hydrogen design and may be metal rubber one can have components that can explore the universe why yes silent little probes that can fly here are impression's of these on art view. If you thought propelling a craft into space would cost millions of pounds, then think again. These amazing images were taken by Cambridge University students who sent a camera close to the edge of space for less than £1,000. The group attached a tiny camera to a helium balloon, which rose to 32km (20miles) – or nearly four times the height of Everest.During the three-hour flight the camera took 800 images showing the Earth's curvature.When the balloon burst, the camera parachuted back to safety, landing in a field 7km (4miles) north of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk.
Voyager hurtled true the solar wind with interstellar winds in the heliosheath. Having traveled more than 21 billion kilometers on its winding path through the planets toward interstellar space, the spacecraft is now nearly 14 billion kilometers from the sun. Traveling at the speed of light, a signal from the ground takes about 12.8 hours to reach the spacecraft. Voyager 1 reached this milestone on July 13 after having traveled more than 22 billion kilometers true space. At the start of the VIM, the two Voyager spacecraft had been in flight for over 12 years having been launched in August (Voyager 2) and September (Voyager 1), "1977". Voyager 1 was at a distance of approximately 40 AU (Astronomical Unit - mean distance of Earth from the Sun, 150 million kilometers) from the Sun, and Voyager 2 was at a distance of approximately 31 AU.

X Ray Clothing.

Advertising agency Butter put together an X-ray-rated 2010 calendar to promote Eizo's high-precision displays for medical imaging. Butter's blurb notes that pinups are more often found in auto garages than medical offices. "Eizo breaks this taboo," Butter boasts. "This pinup calendar shows absolutely every detail."

The promotion made a splash on the Coloribus ad archive this month, and since then, the pinup pics have spread across the Internet like a centerfold. Bad Astronomy's Phil Plait discusses in depth At Art Club View Its the hottest thing since oil paint well I have to say that. Clothing models body art and x ray photos like trains cars and aeroplanes. So at an airport just ask for your photo it just might be quite the thing.

Stepping off the planet.

New forms of displayed imagery within this planetary "Art of destruction". The pace of work is not quite light-speed. But the end product may be just that -- an orbiting laser that churns out a high-power beam to destroy a ballistic missile in flight by 2013. Industry and government teams are now shaping the Space-Based Laser (SBL) concept. The idea is seen as next-generation directed-energy weaponry, whereby dozens of space platforms would be interlinked to create an Earth-orbiting global missile defense system. This laser yet a more potent meteor deflecting system. "This is an ambitious project. Everybody should understand that," said Colonel Neil McCasland, director of the Air Force's SBL-IFX project in Los Angeles, California. "But this is a reach that is in the domain of the possible for American industry. The implications are commensurate with the ambition," he told SPACE.com a souped-up cylindrical, hydrogen-fluoride chemical laser is at the heart of the SBL-IFX test satellite. "Basically prove out all the systems, including lighting off the high-energy laser before they actually go after a target," Streland said. Less than a dozen firings of the laser are expected over the equipment's three-year lifetime, McCasland said. Studies are underway for designing the laser for on-orbit refueling, he said. But trying to build an affordable, compact and less-weighty Space-Based Laser is no small task. One key step was recently taken using results of a TRW-built Alpha chemical laser firing last month.
That six-second test shot of the megawatt-class Alpha demonstrated ways to tailor the laser's chemical efficiency and output power, as well as the shape of the light beam. That data is a bonus for the megawatt-class SBL-IFX laser, McCasland said. Well on the way to power craft heat craft and deflect large meteors from earth. Data gleaned from flight testing the SBL-IFX in 2013 will be used by Department of Defense policymakers to wrestle with a go/no-go decision to construct and deploy in orbit a full-scale laser missile defense system. If given the green light, an operational fleet of lasers could be placed in space around (2020).It is important to do tests with laser, as this can prevent meteors from striking the earth it the most efficient way of deflecting large objects from hitting our planet.

Crows on cigarette break.

A crow flew past in Maldives carrying a packet of cigarettes. Tony and Judie Ellis, from Crow borough who were on Holiday, (we're not joking) Sussex, watched in amazement as the crow landed on the roof of a water villa next to theirs and calmly began extracting the cigarettes from the packet.

As Judie, 53, rushed to get her camera to record the scene on the Maldives two more crows arrived for a fag break and picked up the cigarettes in their beaks. Judie said: 'The crow which flew past with the cigarettes seemed to be dishing them out to the others.'It was taking the cigarettes out of the packet and putting them on the roof of the water villa. Then the other crows were picking them up. It was amazing that they seemed to have them in their beaks the right way round.'
The couple, who work as toy inventors, were told after the incident that crows can sometimes be a bit of a nuisance on the islands. They were told that another holidaymaker had a sandwich stolen by a cheeky crow. Judie said: 'We have been to the Maldives four times before but never seen any sort of crow behaviour like that. I was lucky to be able to record this on my camera.'

Microscopic robots.

Art club view discovered Scientists have created microscopic robots out of DNA molecules that can walk, turn and even create tiny products of their own on a nano-scale assembly line. These ground-breaking devices outlined in the journal Nature, could one day lead to armies of surgeon robots that could clean human arteries or build computer components or just assist.In one of the projects a team from New York's Columbia University created a spider bot just four nanometres across. This is about 100,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. Robots of the future could operate at the nano-scale level, cleaning arteries or building computer components The nano-spider moves along a track comprising stitched-together strands of DNA that is essentially a pre-programmed course. The track exploits DNA's double-helix molecule - a structure of four chemicals that are paired in rungs. By 'unzipping' the DNA you end up with a track that can be used rather like the teeth in a clockwork mechanism. A cog can move around the teeth, provided it meshes with them.

By using strands that correspond to sequences in the track, the robot can be made to walk, turn left or right as it is biochemically attracted to the next matching stretch. The spider's 'body' is a common protein called streptavidin. Attached to it are three 'legs' of single-strand enzymatic DNA, which binds to, and then cuts, a particular sequence of DNA. The fourth leg is a strand that anchors the spider to the starting point. Study leader Milan Stojanovic said: 'After the robot is released from its start site by a trigger strand, it follows the track by binding to and then cutting the DNA strands.'

Once the strand is cut, the leg starts reaching for the next matching stretch of DNA in the track. In this way, the spider is guided down the path set by the researchers.
Eventually, the robot encounters a patch of DNA to which it can bind but cannot cut. At that point, it is immobilised. A molecular nanobot dubbed a 'spider' and labeled with green dyes moves along a DNA track to its red-labeled goal. To watch the spider in motion, the researchers used atomic force microscopy which showed the molecular robots following four different paths. Molecular robots have drawn huge interest because of the allure of programming them to sense their environment and react to it. For instance, they could note disease markers on a cell surface, decide that the cell is cancerous and needs to be destroyed and then deliver a compound to kill it. Other DNA walkers have been developed in the past, but they have never ventured more than a few steps, said Hao Yan, a professor at Arizona State University.

Professor Yan said: 'This one can walk about to about 100 nanometers. That's roughly 50 steps.' The next step is how to make the spider walk faster and how to make it more programmable, so that it can follow many commands on the track and make more decisions. In a separate study reported in Nature, Nadrian Seeman and colleagues from New York University said they had built a prototype molecular factory.
They used a number of DNA robots to assemble gold particles in different ways in response to chemical commands.

DNA walkers moved past three kinds of DNA machines that handed them a cargo of gold nano-particles, which are clutched with three 'hands'. 'This is the first time that systems of nano-machines, rather than individual devices have been used to perform operations, constituting a crucial advance in the evolution of DNA technology,' said Lloyd Smith, from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, in a commentary also published by Nature. Nearly £6billion is being invested in research and development of nano products worldwide, according to the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies, which tracks environmental and health concerns arising from the new technology.
