Science in The News

Our beloved city of Manhattan will be the host of the newly created World Science Festival, taking place over five days at the end of May. The festival aims to bring broader interest to the sciences through the medium of the arts...a marriage made in heaven, in our humble opinion.

Like Attracts Like

One of the wonderful things about being an artist is that most of your friends end up being them too. We spotlight science writer Dava Sobel. She has written extensively about the history of sciences, in particular about Galileo Galilei, and his relationship with his daughter Maria Celeste, who lived out her life as a cloistered nun.
Dava's latest book is about the planets. She is currently writing a play about Copernicus, as well as collaborating with Sarah Pillow
on her Perpetual Motion shows, which is a 17th-century perspective on the interdependence of science and music, along with contemporary images and videos. davasobel.com

Why the name Buckyball

After Buckmister Fuller had become famous for constructing large geodesic domes, scientists and doctors began to provide examples of geodesic and tensegretic structures in microorganisms. Examinations of human tissue showed structures that resembled geodesic and tensegretic basketwork.
The most spectacular discovery was of the Buckminsterfullerene (Buckyballs), a spherical cage molecule of pure carbohydrate. Its discoverer had been inspired by Fuller's Expo Dome to spot the pattern. The "Fullerene" family of molecules is expected to have important consequences on chemistry, electronics, and nanotechnology.
