Voyager captures the sound of interstellar space. Excerpts From The Mad Scientist’s Handbook: So You’re Ready to Vaporize a Human | But Not Simpler. In Chapter 4* we discussed the proper maintenance and operation of energy weapons such as plasma rifles and Tesla cannons. In this chapter, you will learn how to direct those beams and blasts like a true mad scientist! (See Chapter 9 for “The Dos and Don’ts of Maniacal Laughter: Part 1″.) As any successful mad scientist will tell you, energy ain’t free. Popular culture tends to forget this, instead focusing on the destructive capabilities of our finely crafted death rays without noting the massive energy expenditures required to use them.

To conserve ergs, the efficient mad scientist knows the vaporization energies of his or her targets, as they may be deceptive. For example, did you know it takes more energy to vaporize a person than it does to accelerate a kilogram to Earth’s escape velocity? Since the 1950s, mad scientists the world over have argued what true “vaporization” means. First, consider the true vaporization–the complete separation of all atoms within a molecule–of water. Comet Hiding In Plain Sight Discovered By NAU-Led Team | Space. For 30 years, a large near-Earth asteroid wandered its lone, intrepid path, passing before the scrutinizing eyes of scientists while keeping something to itself: 3552 Don Quixote, whose journey stretches to the orbit of Jupiter, now appears to be a comet.

Don Quixote’s coma and tail (left) as seen in infrared light by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope. After image processing (right), the tail is more apparent. Image courtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech/DLR/NAU The discovery resulted from an ongoing project led by researchers at Northern Arizona University using the Spitzer Space Telescope. Through a lot of focused attention and a little bit of luck, they found evidence of cometary activity that had evaded detection for three decades. What Mommert and an international team of researchers discovered, though, was that Don Quixote was not actually a dead comet—one that had shed the carbon dioxide and water that give comets their spectacular tails.

Martha Cooper was a photo-journalist living in New York City when she first began documenting the origins of B-boy (short for break-boys) and hip hop culture. While other New Yorkers at the time saw this movement as a trite, uninspired or even offensive fad, Martha found a new form of expressing art. Through her camera lens we recount the infancy of hip-hop culture, from the alleys and subways of New York to the masses beyond the boroughs.

"The first question people usually ask me is, 'What made you photograph Hip Hop? ' My answer is that the words "Hip Hop" were not even in use in the late 70s when I began this project. From 1977 to 1980, I was a staff photographer for the New York Post. One day I discovered a boy who showed me drawings of his nickname that he painted on walls. "In 1980, while on another Post assignment, I happened upon some kids breakdancing in Washington Heights. (Photos © Martha Cooper, via Brooklyn Public Library) Related galleries. Portrait of a coffee farmer, created with recycled grounds. Photo: © Vincent Francisco Navarro Coffee, culture, conservation To show pride in his culture, Filipino artist and environmentalist Vincent Francisco Navarro painted portraits of coffee farmers using only coffee and coffee grounds.

The city of Baguio, where the artist lives, produces around 300 tons of garbage every day. Navarro saw a way to attract attention to this issue through his art. After spending months volunteering with the farmers, Navarro created these amazing portraits to pay tribute to the farmers' hard work and to show the power of recycling. What's next for Navarro?
