Lopha Cristagalli Geometrical Analysis
(433 views)
Through analysis of the Lopha Cristagalli shell, three characteristics were extracted that considered self-intersection, skin/shell relationships, and skeletal vs. skin hybrid relationships. Looking at the shell through both a temporal and a physical scope, these three concepts carry through to initiate the conceptual beginnings of the aquatic center. read more

Ctenoid Scales | Biological System
(521 views)
The Ctenoid scale is found on many “bony” fish. These include the bass and the angel fish. This type of scale is distinct in that the ends of the scales grow with a toothed outer edge with patterns like tree rings based off years and climates during the year. As you can see the main body of the scale have a pattern as well as growths at the end. Under closer magnification you can see the patterns the spiny cells take and the influence they have on the other cells

Sellotape: ICON of the month
(528 views)
From good guys & bad guys to tracking and erasing.
What do you use Sellotape for? Doctors use it to detect bacteria around the perineum, and to trap head lice. In fact, one doctor used Sellotape, along with brandy, a water bottle and a coat hanger, to save the life of a woman who suffered a collapsed lung on an international flight. read more

Alligator Skin
(178 views)
The body casing of the American Alligator is made up of scales. As they grow, alligators lose individual scutes, which are replaced. Along the back of the gator, there are bony deposits within the individual scales, called osteoderms. Apart from providing increased protection, these particular scutes also have a complex body supply, enabling that transference to take place. read more

Gold: molecular structure
(1,062 views)
Gold molecules mimic a superlattice formation creating a tetragonal shape. In this structure the superlattice environment induces an enhanced degree of preferential arrangement of the dodecane thiols into “antiparallel” bundles oriented along the direction which interlock to form the ordered superlattice. The dimensions of the axes of the superlattice correspond approximately to the length and twice the width of the bundled passivated cluster, respectively. read more

Aquamarine Structure
(396 views)
Aquamarine is beryl, beryllium-aluminum-silicate mineral. When it grows unimpeded, it forms hexagonal prism. in its simplest form, its chemeical formula is (Be3Al2Si6O18), and it is clear or white in colour. Aquamarine, in addition of Fe, it gives the gemstone precious blue color. The amount of valence of the element oand site of its occupancy read more
