Birth of a Ray Gun. There are more ways to make a ray gun than there are ray guns, but here's how we made mine, and some tips for getting started. First, you'll need some raw materials to work with: Every time we're in a thrift store, I pick up the $1 brass candlesticks. When I come home I disassemble them (almost all unscrew into three or more pieces) and throw them in my junk box. The same goes for any interesting metal construction leftovers, wire, nuts and bolts, etc. Many people make their ray guns completely from metal, but I like the color and interest of adding glass. If you do, too, start collecting small glass bottles from home decor stores: These were the pieces to a gun we later had to discard, because the bottle shattered during cutting.
(You can see the finished piece here.) Once you have your raw materials, start playing. I usually like the back end of the gun to be larger, and then taper to a point on the front. To keep all the gun pieces together, we use a threaded metal rod. . Ta da! Stop the CAPTCHA Madness! | are you a human are you a human | Pencil Tip Micro Sculptures.

Harmful Viruses Made of Beautiful Glass. When glass blower Luke Jerram saw visualizations of viruses and pathogens in the scientific world he noticed one big theme: color. Wondering what effect the artificial color in normal scientific drawings had on our interpretation of these invisibly small forms, he created his own exquisite versions out of his favorite material: blown glass. Covering such well known maladies as AIDS and Swine Flu, his works are both beautiful and disturbing, challenging observers to reinterpret their view of the tiny organisms. The pieces, each about 1,000,000 times the size of the actual pathogen, were designed with help from virologists from the University of Bristol using a combination of scientific photographs and models.
