Macro photos of snowflakes show impossibly perfect designs One of the true wonders of the world are snowflakes, tiny designs made of ice that are so individually unique, so detailed, and so spectacular it's hard to comprehend that they happen naturally and aren't pulled from the depths of our own imaginations. Photographer Alexey Kljatov has a special talent for capturing the brief life of these beautiful ice creations. He features many of his snowflake photos on Flickr. Kljatov says, "I capture snowflakes at open balcony of my house, mostly on glass surface, lighted by LED flashlight from opposite side of glass, and sometimes in natural light, using dark woolen fabrics as background." Here is some of his impressive work: Alexey Kljatov/CC BY-NC 3.0 Alexey Kljatov/CC BY-NC 3.0 Kljatov describes his technique for shooting snowflakes in a blog post, for those of you who want to try your own hand at this.

The Bioplastic Revolution: 9 Crazy, Cool Products Made from Plants Not Plastic The world's addiction to plastic is filling up landfills, clogging the oceans, and even becoming a food source for birds -- but finding another material that's as durable, heat-resistant, light, and useful hasn't been easy. One alternative: bioplastics, which have similar end properties to the plastics you already know and love (or hate) but which are made from natural sources like corn, potatoes, tapioca, and sugar. (That's the resin in its pre-product form above.) The bioplastics industry is growing steadily -- here, we've tracked down some of the most useful, most surprising, and most ingenious uses for the biodegradable, compostable plastics.

Scientists Show That Water Has Memory A new groundbreaking discovery has been made within the most basic of resources. Scientists have just discovered what they have called “The Discovery of The Millennium”, and a huge revelation in human consciousness. Scientists from Germany now believe that water has a memory, meaning that what once was seen as a simple commodity has now been closely examined to reveal a scientific revelation, uncovering a mind-blowing truth. By examining individual drops of water at an incredibly high magnification, scientists were able to physically see that each droplet of water has its own individual microscopic pattern, each distinguishable from the next and uniquely beautiful. A scientific experiment was carried out whereby a group of students were all encouraged to obtain one drop of water from the same body of water, all at the same time. Through this discovery which shows that water has a memory, according to scientists, a new perception of water can be formed.

Newly Discovered Wasp Species Enslaves Spiders Spiders spend a lot of time crafting their webs in hopes of making a meal out of all manner of winged insect--but a recently discovered species of wasp is found to use the spider's engineering prowess to its own advantage. Through a not yet understood chemical process, the wasps are able to, quite literally, enslave the unsuspecting spiders to build a nest for their larva, and after all that hard work, become their first meal. Sure, it seems pretty dastardly, but researchers say it's evolution.According to a study published by a Brazilian team in the Journal of Natural History, and reported by Correio Braziliense, the newly discovered wasp species, a member of the Hymenoptera family, is able to control some spiders through a chemical process that remains a mystery. How the Wasp Enslaves the SpiderA female wasp will target a spider and immobilize it with an unknown venom injected into its mouth--at which point the wasp lays its eggs on the spider's abdomen. An Evolutionary Advantage?

Newer PostOlder PostHome The case for recycling the stuff in your toilet A Vancouver-based clean technology start-up called Ostara Nutrient Recovery Technologies wants to turn what gets flushed down your toilet into fertilizer. Why is this good? Well, obviously recycling anything — even the stuff in our poop — is a good thing. “Our dwindling supply of phosphorus, a primary component underlying the growth of global agricultural production, threatens to disrupt food security across the planet during the coming century,” it read. Great, more doom and gloom to get depressed about. Phosphorus is a somewhat rare mineral in the Earth’s crust. When the plants we eat grow, they soak up mainly phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium nutrients from the soil. The problem with phosphorus is that getting more of it has meant mining it from ancient seabed rock. Using technology licensed from the University of British Columbia, Ostara has figured out how to economically extract phosphorus, ammonia and magnesium from the sludgy liquids in municipal waste water.
