Triple Point » Science http://pontotriplo.org/triplepoint A selection of posts from Ponto Triplo - a Portuguese blog with links to the best chemistry sites, news and events Sun, 19 Apr 2009 23:15:30 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 My Other Science Blog: Science Quick Picks http://pontotriplo.org/triplepoint/2007/04/my_other_science_blog_science_quick_picks.html http://pontotriplo.org/triplepoint/2007/04/my_other_science_blog_science_quick_picks.html#comments Thu, 26 Apr 2007 22:10:16 +0000 Jorge Goncalves http://pontotriplo.org/triplepoint/2007/04/my_other_science_blog_science_quick_picks.html ]]> Science Quick Picks is a typical cut-and-paste blog, which I maintain as a sort of bookmarks collection of interesting science news and resources and share with my readers. Science Quick Picks has now around one thousand posts and some of them are quite popular. On the restart of Triple Point I leave here links to some of the most recent and to some of the most popular posts:

From the site: ‘So, what is a Vision of Science? To the judges of the Awards, a Vision of Science is an attention-grabbing image that gives new insight into the world of science and the workings of nature. It may show something never seen before, it may explain a scientific phenomenon, it may illustrate scientific data or it may simply be an image that shows the beauty of science.’

My preferred are “Tetraneutrons” and “Not-so-constant constants”. It is worth reading. [via Slashdot]

Some examples: a plastic hydrogen bomb (!), building a hydrogen fuel cell, simple heat engines, a film can cannon, a metal that melts in hot water, a Bernoulli levitation ball, the impossible kaleidoscope and much more.
