The Earth’s Seasonal “Heartbeat” From Outer Space","excerptText":"This simple animated GIF captures the seasonal cycle of snow and grass, death, and rebirth.<p>John Nel­son is known for build­ing extreme­ly com­plex visu­al­iza­tions of weath­er pat­terns. But his lat­est cre­ation is a sim­ple ani­mat­ed GIF of 15 frames from NASA’s cloud­less satel­lite pho­tog­ra­phy col­lec­tion. It’s essen­tial­ly a year in the life of Earth.<p>Here, he shares why the visu­al is so haunt­ing to him per­son­al­ly and to us col­lec­tive­ly. We felt that his thoughts were sim­ply too earnest to abridge.<p>\"I was sur­prised by the response, real­ly. Espe­cial­ly my own. After work­ing a few hours on get­ting the car­to­graph­ic mumbo jumbo out of the way (pro­jec­tion, col­oration, atmos­pher­ic haze, and stuff), and I first got to see the frames flick­er in front of me, I just stared at it as it looped over and over again. Some­thing that I was famil­iar with as a sta­t­ic thing was now puls­ing and alive and I didn’t expect to feel so locked into it. And it’s hard for me to even describe how I felt about it with­out sound­ing ridicu­lous or sen­ti­men­tal. It’s just an ani­mat­ed GIF.<p>It’s hard for me to describe how I felt without sounding ridiculous…It’s just an animated GIF.<p>\"But you know that scene in Rata­touille, where the griz­zled food crit­ic takes a bite and he is whooshed into a mem­o­ry? I stared at my home of Michi­gan and saw it alter­nat­ing­ly encased in ice then green with life--over and over and over. My mom wres­tled with bipo­lar dis­or­der and sea­son­al affec­tive dis­or­der for much of her life, and there is nobody that I know who was held more tight­ly in that alter­nat­ing grip than she was. And I could relate to her strug­gle maybe more clear­ly than I ever was before, see­ing it illus­trat­ed so direct­ly for me. And just as sure­ly as the ice came down the ice rolls back and it is cov­ered in life again. It hurt me to watch that sequence pass so quick­ly, but see­ing that shift wash steadi­ly back and forth gave me com­fort, too. I saw a quote recent­ly from John Stein­beck that does a beau­ti­ful job of sum­ming that up: \"What good is the warmth of sum­mer, with­out the cold of win­ter to give it sweetness.\" From this per­spec­tive I feel that in some way, her tight link to that sea­son­al change was pret­ty won­der­ful.<p>\"Time is a real­ly weird thing, but most of us can track it pret­ty well over the long term if we live in a place with seasons--or remem­ber liv­ing in a place with sea­sons.

Week in Green: 'practical' jetpack, self-healing solar cell and lab-grown heart tissue","excerptText":"<i>Each week our friends at Inhab­i­tat recap the week's most inter­est­ing green devel­op­ments and clean tech news for us -- it's the Week in Green.</i><p>Tesla CEO Elon Musk wowed the tech and busi­ness worlds this week when he unveiled plans for a 700MPH solar-powered Hyper­loop train that could cat­a­pult peo­ple from San Fran­cis­co to LA in just over half an hour. Although the plan is high­ly con­cep­tu­al, noth­ing asso­ci­at­ed with Musk can be writ­ten off as fan­ta­sy these days. The news some­how man­aged to over­shad­ow all other futur­is­tic trans­porta­tion sto­ries, like Mar­tin Air­craft's unveil­ing of a \"prac­ti­cal\" jet­pack that can trav­el at speeds of up to 60MPH and reach an alti­tude of 8,000 feet. Mean­while, Ger­man design­er Andreas Blazu­naj unveiled a sleek hybrid con­cept vehi­cle that looks more like a space­ship than a car. An Aus­tralian high school stu­dent designed a solar-powered car that could be used to trans­port preg­nant Zim­bab­wean women to hos­pi­tals. And the team behind the Blood­hound Super­son­ic Car announced that it will use a 3D-print­ed nose cone in its attempt break the 1,000MPH speed record in sum­mer 2015.<p>On the clean ener­gy front, a team from Aus­tralia was named the win­ner of the 2013 Solar Decathlon China for con­struct­ing a net-zero retro­fit­ted home. China also helped solid­i­fy its posi­tion as a leader in renew­able ener­gy by installing the world's high­est wind farm in the moun­tains of Tibet. In other solar news, researchers have dis­cov­ered that the min­er­al per­ovskite, which was first dis­cov­ered in Rus­sia in the 19th cen­tu­ry, has great poten­tial for solar power appli­ca­tions. Sci­en­tists from North Car­oli­na State Uni­ver­si­ty revealed this week that they have cre­at­ed a new type of self-healing solar cell that can repair and rein­vig­o­rate itself by mim­ic­k­ing the func­tion­ing of vas­cu­lar sys­tems found in nature. And the com­pa­ny Redox is set to launch a solid oxide fuel cell that's about the size of a dish­wash­er and is expect­ed to cost 90 per­cent less than other units cur­rent­ly on the mar­ket.<p>In other green tech and sci­ence news, a team of under­grads at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Wisconsin-Madison is devel­op­ing a light bulb that uses bac­te­ria to glow in the dark, and Yon­der Biol­o­gy cre­at­ed a cute dino-shaped light that glows with bio­lu­mi­nes­cent algae.

Chris Adams, CEO of Tron­i­cal in Ham­burg, Ger­many, has fig­ured out a way around these prob­lems. Using an off-the-shelf micro­proces­sor, cus­tom tun­ing algo­rithms, and six light­weight motors, Adams devel­oped the first sys­tem that musi­cians can retro­fit onto near­ly any gui­tar’s head­stock—with­out any wiring, drilling, or sol­der­ing. Once attached, his $299 Tron­i­cal­Tune can make an instru­ment pitch-perfect in about five sec­onds.<p>ATTACH<p>The Tron­i­cal­Tune con­sists of a three-inch com­put­er and six motor­ized tun­ing pegs, which screw onto the head­stock in place of the exist­ing pegs. On tra­di­tion­al tun­ing pegs, strings thread through holes—a tech­nique that can cause break­age when strings rub against the edges. Tron­i­cal­Tune uses a gen­tler method: The strings coil around rods on the pegs.<p>TUNE<p>After select­ing from 12 pre­sets (e.g., stan­dard, open E), a user strums all six strings at once. A piezo­elec­tric sen­sor picks up the vibra­tions, and a proces­sor sep­a­rates out the tones of each string. When it detects an off-pitch note, it sig­nals the ser­vo­mo­tor in the peg to turn, tight­en­ing or loos­en­ing the string to adjust the pitch. Once all six strings are tuned, the sys­tem turns itself off.<p>REFINE<p>Dif­fer­ent gui­tar bod­ies and strings cre­ate slight vari­a­tions in tim­bre, so Adams pro­grammed the Tron­i­cal­Tune to grow accus­tomed to a gui­tar over the course of 10 to 20 tun­ings. The proces­sor tracks the over­tones and adjusts its tun­ing accord­ing­ly.<p>TronicalTune<p><b>Tun­ing Time:</b> 3–10 sec­onds <b><br>Weight:</b> 9 ounces <b><br>Price:</b> $299<p><i>This arti­cle orig­i­nal­ly appeared in the August 2013 issue of</i> Pop­u­lar Sci­ence<i>.

Hardware designers will soon have a whole new set of toys to play with, and those toys will transform the technology that surrounds us. Here are ten materials that could have a huge impact.1. LiquidmetalSmartphone firms including Apple are very keen to use Liquidmetal, and you can see why: it's twice as strong as titanium, exceptionally scratch- and wear-resistant and can be moulded into incredibly intricate shapes.This week's Apple rumours suggest it's being considered for the iWatch case and future iPads, but for now Apple's Liquidmetal adventures haven't extended beyond the SIM card ejector tool for the iPhone 3GS.YouTube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uOPXquIMt4#at=1142. GrapheneGraphene is getting lots of people very excited: according to Nobel laureate Andre Geim, \"it's the thinnest possible material you can imagine... it's also the strongest material ever measured; it's the stiffest material we know; it's the most stretchable crystal.\"Graphene transistors could lead to dramatically faster computers and better batteries, and its spin-off GraphExeter is a transparent, lightweight and flexible material that could turn our clothes into computing devices.3. Willow GlassWe're all familiar with Corning's Gorilla Glass, the super-tough glass used in smartphone screens.
