Even though it was a short week because of the holiday it feels like it took forever. I have managed to get quite a bit done in the lab this week and we have an Ice Cream social sponsored by our AAPS chapter (American Association for Pharmaceutical Scientists) this afternoon. But, I will take the next few minutes to post some cool links to help get us to the weekend!
-Don't we all hate it when we take a picture and it comes out blurry? Well no more, I found two different articles on new camera technology that allows you to refocus your picture after you take the picture. It basically collects all the light data instead of the just the focused data we are used to. Check out the links...
Lytro Camera - Click here for a demo of the feature
40,000 Lenses - Popscience guide to a similar technology.
-Barcode Art?! Cool and useless all at the same time!
-The 4th of July might be the king of all BBQ holidays, thus I give you the coolest grill ever!
-New medicine tech; Blue light to cure diabetes. Researchers claim that they have combined flourescense with the ability to combat diabetes. Also, for my friends who love statistics, new models that have previously been used for stock market fluctuations are being used to help find a cure for HIV.
-If you are really bored, check out this list of scenarios for the future!
-Phase change memory for computers...another great application of amorphous solids!
-Lastly, companies can now run social media background checks. That means anything you have on the internet (for me that includes this blog, fun fun) but I recommend reading this quick article and checking out the sample report which came back negatively for one Gizmodo.com writer. Interesting stuff!
Have a good weekend!
