A few images from yesterdays first #HoloDeck presentation at Prof. Varshneys #lab at the #Indian Institute of #Science (#IISc) in #Bangalore (#India), where people enjoyed 'playing molecules'.

Holodeck, also known as the Rechenkraft.net #Molecular #AR Environment is our #OpenSource approach - based on the @tiltfive hardware - to visualize molecular #structures in #3D for #education & #research & #development purposes.

As #spring is here, it’s time to resume our own form of #EthicalTourism or #EcoToruism (day trips involving travel only by #bike and #PublicTransport#Trains, in this case). As I’m a #StructuralEngineer, I like seeing interesting #structures and so I picked #Portsmouth. Quite recently, it had a #tower built called the #SpinnakerTower as it resembles a #spinnaker #sail. It is by no means unique, nor is it the tallest, but it’s comfortably within a day trip’s distance of us.

Long post...

There are many factors that can affect the Earth’s spin, and no two days are ever exactly the same length. Turns out, we have something to do with that. Scientists have discovered that so-called megastructures built by humans can slow the Earth’s rotation. @sciencefocus reports: flip.it/O29T2t
