Am I the only one in the world who wants his occasional thoughtless comments forgotten, his connections to others as dynamic and fluid as his life, his ways of thinking mostly hidden, and his image not shown around the whole world?

Yes, you are the only one.

Evolution of Mona Lisa Via Genetic Programming 326

Posted by kdawson from the but-the-target-was-given dept.
mhelander writes "In his weblog Roger Alsing describes how he used genetic programming to arrive at a remarkably good approximation of Mona Lisa using only 50 semi-transparent polygons. His blog entry includes a set of pictures that let you see how 'Poly Lisa' evolved over roughly a million generations. Both beautiful to look at and a striking way to get a feel for the power of evolutionary algorithms."

Nanoknives To Be Used to Cut Cells 78

Posted by Zonk from the take-that-you-cytoplasmic-scoundrel dept.
Roland Piquepaille writes "American researchers have built a carbon nanotube knife. According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), this nanoknife will be used to cut and study cells. With this new tool, scientists and biologists will be able to make 3D images of cells and tissues for electron tomography, which requires samples less than 300 nanometers thick. And as cells are usually stored in wax for dissection, the researchers plan to test their nanoknives on a block of wax later this year. But read more for additional references and a picture of this nanoknife."
