The wonder of fungus, dirt and parasites: 展示 showcases 素晴らしい 科学の photographs and 活気/アニメーションs

  • The images are part of the 'Art of Science' 展示 存在 held by Princeton University in New Jersey
  • 勝利者 of the image 部類 showed コンビナート/複合体 patterns created by water moving over the 大西洋 coast
  • Second place went to an image of a microscopic 見解(をとる) of a fungus growing on 破片 within an ant 植民地
  • There was also a ビデオ 部類 which featured images of a fish's line of sight and 独房s 支店ing out?

Fruit 飛行機で行く ovaries or a fungus garden don't automatically spring to mind when imagining 反対するs of beauty.

But to a scientist, seeing these strange and fascinating 見本/標本s in 詳細(に述べる) can 明らかにする/漏らす 予期しない patterns of beauty.

And now anyone can see the same 素晴らしい patterns as part of an 年次の 展示 held by Princeton University in New Jersey, which 最高潮の場面s the art in science.?

What does a fish see when it schools with others? In this GIF, the visual field is shown for one fish in a school. The field of 見解(をとる) of the left 注目する,もくろむ is seen in red and the 権利 in? blue. The areas of overlap are shown in purple. The ビデオ illustrates the fact that a fish can see far more than a few nearest 隣人s

The 展示(する) consists of both still images and ビデオ of artistic 長所 created during the course of 科学の 研究.

The idea is to 刺激(する) 審議 の中で artists about the nature of art and open scientists to new ways of 'seeing' their own 研究.

It also hopes to open a window through which the general public can 高く評価する/(相場などが)上がる both art and science - two fields that for 異なるing 推論する/理由s can feel 脅すing to the 非,不,無-専門家.

Microtubules are hollow filaments that serve as the 骸骨/概要 of the 独房. They were thought to grow linearly, but this GIF shows that they can 支店: microtubules (red with growing tips in green) grow off the 塀で囲む of 存在するing microtubules

'Portrait of the Artist in the Air Shower' won third prize in the Art of Science competition. The image was taken during a 20-second blast of air that removes tiny pieces of debris when scientists enter the clean room

'Portrait of the Artist in the 空気/公表する にわか雨' won third prize in the Art of Science 競争. The image was taken during a 20-second 爆破 of 空気/公表する that 除去するs tiny pieces of 破片 when scientists enter the clean room

Shown here are fungus-growing ants and the fungus garden they cultivate in a 植民地 from the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. The interaction between ant 労働者s and the growing fungus creates dynamic living structure, seen here growing in a time-lapse ビデオ over the course of ten days

THE ART OF SCIENCE 2014 WINNERS

Sara Sadri, a postdoctoral student in Civil and 環境の 工学 (機の)カム first with her image dubbed 'Watermarks'.?The image traces the コンビナート/複合体 patterns created by water moving 支援する and 前へ/外へ on New Jersey's 大西洋 coast.?

Second place went to James Waters for his 'Fungus の中で us' The image shows a microscopic 見解(をとる) of a fungus growing on 破片 within an ant 植民地.

‘Art of Science imagery has 全世界の/万国共通の 控訴,上告, across cultures, languages, and age groups,’ the organisers (人命などを)奪う,主張する.

‘Powerful imaging 道具s can now 逮捕(する) our world in ways never before 熟視する/熟考するd and unintentionally produce aesthetically 利益/興味ing visual 影響s.

‘When 見解(をとる)d through the レンズ of art, these images can その上の man’s 概念 of what it means to be human, 高める our 評価 of the natural world, and 濃厚にする our cultural 遺産.’

Forty-four still images and 12 ビデオs were chosen from more than 30 submissions from undergraduates, 卒業生(する) students, postdocs, staff, and alumni.

Zach Donnell, a 卒業生(する) student in molecular biology and one of the 2014 組織者s, explained that the 展示(する) 最高潮の場面s the interplay between art and science.

'While the 科学の methods behind the 展示(する) 努力する/競う for objectivity and 合意, everyone’s individual 返答 to the images is subjective and 高度に personal,' he said.

The image of a 'Fruit Fly Factory' shows cross sections of ten ovaries from a female fruit fly. Each ovary acts as an 'assembly line,' with each egg (yellow circles) being formed as it works its way to the larger end of the ovary. The image was created by?Yogesh Goyal, Bomyi Lim, Miriam Osterfield, and Stas Shvartsman

This piece, titled 'Angel, shows a close up of the protective coatings of hydroxyapatite that are durable, but invisible.

The title of this image paraphrases Lewis Wolpert's declaration: "It is not birth, marriage, or death, but gastrulation, which is truly the most important time in your life." 'Gastrulation' is the process by which, through coordinated cell shape changes and movements, an embryo takes form. This image shows a transverse view through a gastrulating fruit fly embryo

This is the seventh Princeton University Art of Science 競争 but the first to 含む a 部類 of ビデオ.

The 最高の,を越す ビデオ award was a GoPro camera, awarded to Sabine Petry, assistant professor of molecular biology, for 'Microtubules 支店 out.'

'So much of science and 工学 伴う/関わるs ビデオ or 活気/アニメーション these days that it was 必然的な we would 含む it in Art of Science,' said Dan Quinn, a 卒業生(する) student in mechanical and 航空宇宙学 工学 who is one of the 2014 展示(する) organisers.

'Since a picture is 価値(がある) a thousand words, ビデオ is 価値(がある) だいたい 30,000 words per second, so 追加するing a ビデオ 構成要素 to Art of Science was a no-brainer.'

Those …に出席するing the 開始 歓迎会 for the physical gallery in May were also asked to fill out a paper 'People’s Choice' 投票(する).

Of 185 投票(する)s cast, 1s t place for the still image went to 'Fruit 飛行機で行く factory' by Yogesh Goyal, Bomyi Lim, Miriam Osterfield, Stas Shvartsman, of 化学製品 and 生物学の 工学.

The People’s Choice award for ビデオ went to 'Plenty of Fish' by Colin Twomey and Haishan Wu of 生態学 and Evolutionary Biology.

The physical gallery of the 2014 展示(する) will be on 見解(をとる) in the Friend 中心 on the Princeton University campus through the end of April 2015.?
