8hertz by 1234lab

Concept jewelery from 1234lab seems to be a combination of input, algorithm, 3d printing and fine handwork.

8hertz is jewelery formed from phrases of intimate communication. It is said that only seven percent of all communication is verbal. Words exchanged between lovers and friends carry significance far beyond their diction. Timing, timbre and context all help convey meaning exceeding the value of the words themselves. Every exchange is different in intent and perception. Similarly, an exchange of jewelery itself is a communication of unique sentiment. read more

Biomimetics: Design by Nature

012

An electron micrograph reveals sharkskin’s secret to speed: tooth-like scales called dermal denticles. Water “races through the microgrooves without tumbling,” says shark researcher George Burgess, reducing friction. “It’s like a fast-moving river current versus the gurgling turbulence of a shallow stream.” The scales also discourage barnacles and algae from glomming on—an inspiration for synthetic coatings that may soon be applied to Navy ship hulls to reduce such biofouling.

What has fins like a whale, skin like a lizard, and eyes like a moth? The future of engineering.
