ZeroN - Levitated Interaction Element of Awesomeness

When I was younger, I used to push two magnets together until I found that point where a bubble of repulsion formed between them. With the weak magnets I had access to, I could always overpower the repulsive force and push them together, but I was amazed that there was some unseen magic acting upon two physical objects.

Like all of us, I later learned it was the forces of magnetism at work. The ZeroN project from Jinha Lee at MIT takes that to a whole new level.

By using computer-controlled magnetic field manipulations, a metal sphere is suspended in mid-air. Even more, it can be made to follow complex paths, “remembering” and repeating actions. If that somehow isn’t enough, just wait until he lights it up like an orbiting planet, and demonstrates Kepler’s Laws! Dude blew my mind!

It’s an experiment in challenging how we perceive natural patterns of motion, and whether computers, when combined with materials, can alter the way we interact with the world around us. Most of all, it’s AWESOME.

fuck the system.
i feel this not only applies to math, but to all subjects. especially with the establishment of standardized tests, teachers are now forced to just stuff information into our heads. they’ve got it wrong—creativity is at the base of all knowledge. real learning no longer exists inside a classroom. it only happens at a very young age and through a kid’s motivation to go beyond the given requirements. it’s sickening really. no wonder the era of geniuses has subsided; furthermore, look at the life of these geniuses. note how they went outside the system in order to develop themselves. i cite Feynman, Newton, Einstein…shall i continue?

Good read. 

To read later.

This is great. Please read it.

Cupertino high school student Angela Zhang may know the cure for cancer: As a freshman, she started reading doctoral-level papers on biological engineering. By her sophomore year in high school, she managed to convince Stanford University to let her use their laboratories, and by junior year, she began doing her own research that led her to develop a recipe that boggles even her chemistry teacher.

Zhang’s recipe won her a $100,000 award at a national science competition sponsored by Siemens.

Her method of curing cancer by aiming an infrared light at mutated cells killed cancer in mice; it will be a few more years before it can be determined if the method works in humans. Nevertheless, Zhang’s three years of research is considered a breakthrough. [CBS News]
