#Structures

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.

[Un peu de #cosmologie ...] Comment les fluctuations quantiques de l' #Univers primordial ont-elles donné lieu aux #structures gravitationnelles qui le peuplent aujourd'hui : amas de galaxies, #galaxies, etc ?
