unamazing: (via theinternetkills:) Lytro Camera Click on the picture to refocus the image! Technology keeps getting more awesome. Unlike a conventional camera that captures a single plane of light, the Lytro camera captures the entire light field, which is all the light traveling in every direction in every point in space.

wnycradiolab: New Scientist: Pulse of light creates instant origami.  “The researchers used plastic sheets that shrink when placed under a heat source such as infrared light. Using an ordinary inkjet printer, they printed black ink along the lines to be folded.

mariamauva: Due to the fact that I have taken Biology as an AS subject, I heard my classmate ask this question: what is cotton made up of? When the teacher replied with cellulose, they said: so why isn’t it sweet, if glucose is the basic unit? I do recall that polysaccharides are not sweet, but the reason behind it, I did not know, until I made some research: This is the structure of...

Little kids laughing at being sprayed by water →
