COLOR CODING Liquid crystals that change color depending on the temperature alert workers if these polio vaccines have been exposed to heat and are no longer potent
...Biochemical Equation,” the collaboration single between the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA (who did the soundtracks of both Kill Bill films) and indie-hop supervillain MF Doom last month had good reason to be excited for this project. I was dusting off my liquid sword, getting ready to guillotine heads once more.

...effect of the many videos and light shows, like Brits Mark Boyle and Joan Hills' Beyond Image and Son of Beyond Image (1969).

Photo bioreactors already exist in labs, but because they're made from a slurry of bacteria and liquid that needs to be stirred constantly, they are inefficient and expensive. Flickinger's paint concept needs nothing more than waste carbon sources, sunshine and a thin coating of highly concentrated microbes. For the moment, more fundamental scientific and engineering studies are needed in the laboratory to prove the concept...
