Science and art all at once.
Waves by Daniel Palacios
A long piece of rope generates 3D waves floating in space by the physical action of its movement, and simultaneously creates sound by cutting through the air.

Oh hey… I finished this today…. Good/productive snow day.
Now have a nice way to remember what minerals go where on the Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness!

A brilliant series of minimalist typographic tributes to scientists and their discoveries. I especially like the Copernicus one :)

Richard Feynman (or the-man-who-made-physics-sexy) on The Pleasure of Finding Things Out.
He makes me want to be a physicist.

Recycled Garden
This particular vertical urban garden was implemented in a Brazilian home that received a huge makeover. Hundreds of plastic soda bottles were taken and repurposed into miniature, individual planters for simple greenery in the front patio of this colorful residence. Rosenbaum design firm has gotten such a great response, that you can build your very own suspended art piece via their instructional guide, here.
I want to make this.

While traveling in India, Adital Ela came across a chai vendor who sold his tea in small, clay cups that patrons could use and then simply toss on the ground when they were done. These cups didn’t create any waste, because it was earth returning to earth. This sparked a question for Ela: “How can products, like people, come from dust, and return to dust?”
[This set her on] a mission to make products out of compressed earth and agricultural waste. A self-proclaimed designer-gatherer, her title is as organic in nature as her found materials.
Ela’s first product for her line, Terra by Adital Ela, was a stool made from dirt heaps that construction sites had dumped in the forest. …
Making a Terra stool creates no pollution. It requires no energy and uses only local and organic materials. If a stool is no longer useful, the owner can simply leave it in the garden and let it deteriorate back into the earth. Or they can add water and mold it into another functional object.

From an awesome biologist friend of mine.
This should be a poster!

I’m pretty comfortable guessing that you haven’t considered the 3D symmetry present in snowflakes before, because who has? We consider them two-dimensional objects, but when you start to imagine a world with exotic planes of snowy symmetry … it gets pretty mind-blowing.
You’ve done it again, Vi Hart.
Previously: Here’s Vi’s original paper snowflake video, which takes them to another level. I even made some!

Beloved cartoonist Lynda Barry is teaching a university-level course on doodling and neuroscience that you can audit remotely for free. She’s posting the weekly assignments on her Tumblr – this is the first one.
