Molecular car & 4th dimensional scultpure

Scientists build world's first single-molecule car



"Rice University Scientists have done it. After BMW announced the possibility of producing a car that would utilize nanotechnology practically for all functions, Rice University scientists developed the world’s first single-molecule car- the car that was driven on a gold microscopic highway. It a small coupe that is devoid of any plush seating or conventional steering system. But it is a real solution for the grid locked cities. With a wheelbase of less than 5 nm, parking it is a cakewalk."

Everyday, the concept of fixing and healing people on the molecular level comes one step closer to becoming true.

New mathematics-based sculpture unveils fourth dimension



"The sculpture, designed by Adrian Ocneanu, professor of mathematics at Penn State, presents a three-dimensional 'shadow' of a four-dimensional solid object."

*sigh*, I love math, it is so beautiful and simple.
