The skin of a woman - Identity and beauty through art and science
Jan 27, 2012
Milan's Triennale hosts for the first time in Italy and until February 19, 2012, an art exhibition that investigates the different aspects of the human skin. The project, born as the result of a collaboration between Fondazione Antonio Mazzotta and Boots Laboratories, focusses on woman, beauty and feminine identity, underlining the relationship between art and science in its different shades. The exhibition path is divided into 6 sections that offer a wide selection of art works, historical and never seen before items, documents and vintage items. To complete the exhibition, there is the presence of a real scientific lab. Our microphones reached curator Martina MAzzotta and Boots Laboratories Italia's Marketing Manager, Novella Sardos Albertini.

Scientists pioneer cloaking technology
Jan 27, 2012
The idea of turning invisible could be closer to 'science fact' than 'science fiction'. Researchers at the University of Texas have for the first time used an invisibility cloak to make a three-dimensional object. One cloaking technique uses so-called meta-materials to redirect light, creating 2-dimensional invisibility; another uses a heat panel to create a mirage effect, bending the light to trick the eye. The latest advance uses plasmonic meta-materials to cancel all reflected light. No reflection means the object disappears into 3-dimensional invisibility. Al Jazeera's Jonah Hull reports from London.

Make Glow Sticks - The Science
Jan 27, 2012
We show how to make glow sticks and go through all the chemicals needed as well as how to make different colors. We also talk about the chemistry and scientifically research a proposed mechanism. To make the glow stick mix together the following: 10mL Diethyl Phthalate (solvent) 3mg of fluorescent dye (see below) 50mg TCPO (see below) 100mg sodium acetate 3mL 30% hydrogen peroxide (add last to start reaction) The fluorescent dye can be 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene for green, Rubrene for yellow, 9,10-diphenylanthracene for blue, and rhodamine B for red. TCPO is expensive to buy but can be made for much cheaper by following the directions in our previous video: www.youtube.com The chemicals, including the ones to make TCPO were purchased from alfa aesar: www.alfa.com The Rhodamine B and Rubrene dyes were instead purchased from sigma Aldrich www.sigmaaldrich.com The dyes and TCPO are carcinogenic and gloves should be worn when handling them. The TCPO and sodium acetate amounts can be varied considerably and still obtain good light. Smaller quantities tend to be dimmer and decay faster, while larger quantities last longer. For those of you higher level individuals that actually do want to know the mechanism for this process, please refer to this article: pubs.acs.org

Science Bulletins: Whales Give Dolphins a Lift
Jan 27, 2012
Many species interact in the wild, most often as predator and prey. But recent encounters between humpback whales and bottlenose dolphins reveal a playful side to interspecies interaction. In two different locations in Hawaii, scientists watched as dolphins "rode" the heads of whales: the whales lifted the dolphins up and out of the water, and then the dolphins slid back down. The two species seemed to cooperate in the activity, and neither displayed signs of aggression or distress. Whales and dolphins in Hawaiian waters often interact, but playful social activity such as this is extremely rare between species. The latest Bio Bulletin from the Museum's Science Bulletins program presents the first recorded examples of this type of behavior. Visitors to AMNH may view the video in the Hall of Biodiversity until February 9, 2012. Science Bulletins is a production of the National Center for Science Literacy, Education, and Technology (NCSLET), part of the Department of Education at the American Museum of Natural History.

New Essay Offers Hope to Public's Growing Disenchantment with Science
SYDNEY, Jan. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- The World Transformation Movement today published a ground-breaking essay titled What is science? by Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith that offers hope to the public's growing disenchantment with science, by revealing that science will be the saviour of the human race. The essay is the latest chapter in Griffith's soon-to-be-launched, online publication The Book of Real Answers to Everything! This book explains that the real issue before us as a species has always been the issue of the human condition, which is our species' capacity for good and evil -- Griffith maintains that the role of science has been to one day find understanding of this crux issue.
