Last week, we discussed one of the extremities on the scale of size, nano-technology. This week, we go on to the other end of scale, the vast space. The space is unlimited in size; at least we have not been able to detect the end of space. It is empty, weightless, dark, cold. Yet, it provides the building molecules that formed, our Sun, our Earth, and ultimately us. There are still so much mysteries about the space. Therefore, artists have used their imagination to explore the space on behalf of the scientists. Art Depicting the Vast Space  Blade Runner(1982): Video Call The first area of art is the TV and movies. As human technology advances, we flew out of Earth and enters the Space Age. However, our current technology can only take us so far; we cannot even send people to mars. But through movies like E.T, Star Trek, and various others, artists have showed us the space in their mind and solve the mysteries with their imagination. And some of those arts has given our techn

Example of NanoArt NanoArt is a new art that combines science and technology. As its name suggests, NanoArt are done at nano-level. So it is only possible with the use of modern technology that allowed us to see at nano-level. Nanotechnology is about engineering at molecular level. It was first introduced by Richard Feynman in 1959. He did not bring up the term “nanotechnology” in his lecture “There’s plenty of Room at the Bottom”, but he suggested the idea that scientist could build things at atomic precision(CRNANO). Since then, many work have been dedicated towards creating machines at molecular and methods to observe at that level. One application of nanotechnology is on the skin-care and beauty products. These products are more related to us since most of the people uses some kinds of skin-care and beauty products on a daily basis, especially the females. Sunscreen contain titanium dioxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles, which are highly reflective to protect our skin f

Human Brain with Neuron System This week’s topic is about Neuroscience. It is a very complicated yet interesting area of discussion that people always seek to understand more. With modern technology , we have more understanding of our complex brain than ever. The key of this week’s topic lies with our brain. The brain is deemed as the most important organ that makes us human. Most living organisms have brain, but we are the only being that utilizes it at a high level. We do not have the biggest brain, nor the biggest brain in proportion to body weight. Our brain is only slightly more complex than that of animals. Yet, we are the only being on Earth capable of achieving our modern society. Portrait of BrainWave by E. Joteva Memory is a key component of our life. Things and events will not last throughout one’s lifespan; at the end of day, all we can recall is the memory of that moment. Like the theme of the past event I have been to, the artist, E. Joteva, showed the
