ES4FUN 1.0 - Structures and functionalities

submitted by: es4fun
ES4FUN is a Physics-driven educational project with the aim of spreading universal scientific concepts in a game context, with research high-tech and audio+video clip support Multitudinary games were designed and implemented to spread the concepts "structures and functionalities" which are shared by all the scientific disciplines. The clip has been made with the graphic material recorded during the ES4FUN 1.0 event at the car parking of the Science and Technology Campus of the University...

ES4FUN 2.2 - Feedback and structural symmetries

submitted by: es4fun
ES4FUN is a Physics-driven educational project with the aim of spreading universal scientific concepts in a game context, with research high-tech and audio+video clip support Interactive video games have been implemented with LabVIEW to highlight the concepts feedback and structural symmetries. The clip has been made with the graphic material recorded during the III Workshop on Teaching Innovation in Chemistry (University of Cadiz, 23-25 June 2008), in collaboration with the UCADanza...

Magnetic Warp

submitted by: SirZerp
This investigation describes and demonstrates a novel technique for the visualization of magnetic fields. Two ferrofluid Hele-Shaw cells have been constructed to facilitate the imaging of magnetic field lines. We deduce that magnetically induced photonic band gap arrays similar to electrostatic liquid crystal operation are responsible for the photographed images and seek to mathematically prove the images are of exact dipole nature. This is an single comprehensive version replacing my...

It’s easy to get lost on the biological superhighway. Thankfully, we brought a map.

Biological annotations and terms have gotten a makeover with RGD’s interactive pathway diagrams. The Rat Genome Database makes biological pathways and their components easy to navigate and analyze through this newly added diagrams feature at http://rgd.mcw.edu/wg/pathway?100 . This video will show you how to easily access, view, and gather information from these diagrams and all the great tools they offer. See our RGD website at http://rgd.mcw.edu for more information and tools for...
