    fuckyeahfluiddynamics: As the Arctic warms, methane that was previously trapped by permafrost rises from the muddy bottom of lakes to escape into the atmosphere. Here the first clear ice of the fall has trapped the rising methane bubbles, allowing scientists an opportunity to estimate the amount of methane being released. When spring arrives and the lakes melt, the methane will rise again. (Photo credit: M. Thiessen/National Geographic)

    jtotheizzoe: Cthulhu rises as a copper sulfate plasma When a pulse of high voltage is released into a pool of copper sulfate, the energy causes the electrons of the oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur and copper atoms to become temporarily displaced, and a plasma is formed. This cloud of energized atomic material float up like an energized gas, a mixture of positively charged copper and negatively charged hydroxyl (OH) groups … existing for less than half a second.

    tequilapervz: Link “Sometimes, you need a little peace and quiet to stay sane. But it turns out too much quiet can drive you crazy- or at least make you hallucinate. That’s what scientists at Orfield Labs in Minneapolis have found by studying how subjects react in their anechoic chamber, also known as the world’s quietest room. The sound level in the room, which actually has the Guinness World Record, is -9 decibels, compared to the average “quiet” room’s 30, according to MPR News. The key to the level of silence is the fact that the walls, floor and ceiling absorb all sound, rather than reflecting it, as most surfaces do. Thus the term anechoic: no echo. It’s so quiet, you can hear your own organs: your heart, stomach, even your ears, which make a tiny amount of noise. It turns out that it’s not an especially pleasant experience, especially in the dark. The longest anyone has ever spent alone in the chamber? Forty-five minutes. Orfield Labs uses the anechoic chamber to test the noise levels of various products like LED lights. But watch out: it could easily become a place to drive people mad.”

    momalibrary: Every day at the library reference desk I look at a poster version of this chart. Ever since Alfred Barr composed it for the catalog cover of the 1936 exhibition Cubism and Abstract Art, the chart has been scrutinized, criticized, historicized, revised, and deliciously parodied. There are so many references I’ve made an ongoing bibliography with entries from the most scholarly of deconstructions to one of my favorite riffs. My colleagues have also been scrutinizing charts lately, sparked by the exhibition Inventing Abstraction, 1910–1925. Investigating early abstraction as a global phenomenon, the curatorial team used the chart as a point of departure for visualizing contact among modern artists of the period. This in turn has opened up the general topic of visualizing art history, as seen in these ongoing entries about charts on the exhibition’s in-depth blog. The chart fascinates me in terms of something Barr wrote in 1946, arguing for popularization through research which makes publication effective more than that which makes it true, of what might be called the pragmatic rhetoric of education rather than its data. The “effectiveness” of the chart lies precisely its oversimplicity. Unlike even the most erudite essay, exquisite lecture, or the landmark exhibition itself, Barr’s idea is immediately graspable (effective). In this way the chart forcefully conveys an argument—however flawed—that the art world can (and continually does) push against. -jt Image: Alfred H. Barr, Jr. Papers, 3.C.4.
