From the Shadows: A New Method for X-Ray Color Imaging

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, computing, media & arts

Researchers at the University of Göttingen have created a new approach to generate colored X-ray images. Previously, the only way to determine the chemical composition and arrangement of components in a sample using X-ray fluorescence analysis was to focus X-rays on the entire sample and scan it, which was both time-consuming and costly. The new method allows for the creation of an image of a large area with just one exposure, eliminating the need for focusing and scanning. The findings were published in the journal Optica.

In contrast to visible light, there are no comparably powerful lenses for “invisible” radiation, such as X-ray, neutron, or gamma radiation. However, these types of radiation are essential, for example, in nuclear medicine and radiology, as well as in industrial testing and material analysis.

Uses for X-ray fluorescence include analyzing the composition of chemicals in paintings and cultural artifacts to determine authenticity, origin, or production technique, or the analysis of soil samples or plants in environmental protection. The quality and purity of semiconductor components and computer chips can also be checked using X-ray fluorescence analysis.

Iron Maiden — To tame a land (Lyrics included)

Posted by in categories: entertainment, media & arts

There’s a lot about ecology in frank Herbert’s dune saga and eco mysticism as well.


I will never make any money from Youtube and that is perfectly correct!
I will always get this message: “Your video is ineligible for monetization due to a copyright claim.“
And: “Ad revenue paid to copyright owner”

Lifespan Record Broken In E5 Study

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, food, life extension, media & arts

This has been the news lately. This is a good breakdown of info and apparently Katcher wishes to do dog trials.


In this video we provide a quick update on activities at Yuvan Research. It is very exciting to see that Sima, the last remaining rat in the E5 trial is still alive and has surpassed the age of the previous record for lifespan of a Sprague Dawley rat.

Scientists Use AI to Create Music through Proteins

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, media & arts, robotics/AI

The first time a language model was used to synthesize human proteins.

Of late, AI models are really flexing their muscles. We have recently seen how ChatGPT has become a poster child for platforms that comprehend human languages. Now a team of researchers has tested a language model to create amino acid sequences, showcasing abilities to replicate human biology and evolution.

The language model, which is named ProGen, is capable of generating protein sequences with a certain degree of control. The result was achieved by training the model to learn the composition of proteins. The experiment marks the first time a language model was used to synthesize human proteins.

How a Baseball Injury Made A Genius (Savant Syndrome)

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, media & arts, neuroscience

Savant syndrome is a strange condition that gives people unique abilities. Although savant syndrome is very rare reported cases gain genius-like abilities in narrow domains. But how can we explain savant syndrome? And could we induce savant syndrome in normal people?

2001 A Space Odyssey: Epilogue with Frank Poole

Posted by in categories: media & arts, robotics/AI, space

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.


Sorry, IGNORING A C Clarks PLOTS FOR 2010 AND 3001!!!!!!!!!!! Some 203 years and 2 months after astronaut Frank Poole (Gary Lockwood, this short approved by the self same actor) is murdered by the Discovery’s A.I. HAL 9,000, his body encounters a Monolith. Using practical models and digital versions of the analogue VFX tricks used in the original, with respect to Stanley Kubrick, Douglas Trumbull and Wally Veevers.

Sorcerer’s Apprentice — Paul Abraham Dukas

Posted by in category: media & arts

Paul Abraham Dukas (1 October 1,865 – 17 May 1935) was a French composer, critic, scholar and teacher. A studious man of retiring personality, he was intensely self-critical, having abandoned and destroyed many of his compositions.
