...Adams exhibit, “Early Work,” is the most enthralling. Prints framed in darker wood, mounted on grayer walls, and lit by dimmer lighting evoke the great American landscape photographer in his teens and twenties struggling to find the most direct and honest way to express his sense of awe on trips to Yosemite and elsewhere in the Western wilderness.Adams made these first few dozen prints in the pictorialist style of his contemporaries, for whom photography didn’t inherently qualify as art. The pictorialists felt the need to touch up their images...
More than anything, though, I love this place because of my friends. I was having a tough time trying to articulate what exactly it is about them I love, until one of them said, “If you want to express yourself, try getting drunk.

...ultra-thin wires that have the potential to revolutionize electronics—and a new application of the technology that may make over-the-counter cancer tests available in drugstores in the near future. Ritesh Agarwal, a former Harvard postdoctoral associate, published a paper this week in Optics Express on a new technique for assembling and arranging nanowires, which are smaller than any circuitry currently available, even on microchips. The ability to construct specific, three-dimensional, nano-scale devices at the whim of a researcher has until this week been elusive. Because nanowires also have the ability to direct light...
