  • cinoh: Harvard researchers develop a new origami-inspired material that changes shape. Borrowing bits from the Hoberman Sphere and the origami-based concept of snapology, where interlocking strips of paper snap together to create rigid structures, Overvelde and his team at Harvard have created what they call a metamaterial: an expandable structure that can be used on…

  • The interesting thing about non-tungsten artificial light sources is that they often produce a non-continuous or incomplete spectral output. This can affect the appearance of certain colors under that output. More simply, you can’t really put colors back in that weren’t there to begin with, even by gelling such a light source or color correcting…

  • At the time, I was writing a book about the politics of drug prohibition. I started to ask Ehrlichman a series of earnest, wonky questions that he impatiently waved away. “You want to know what this was really all about?” he asked with the bluntness of a man who, after public disgrace and a stretch…

  • ‘Cat++’ Is a Visual Live-Coding Language Based on Feline Behavior | The Creators Project

    ‘Cat++’ Is a Visual Live-Coding Language Based on Feline Behavior | The Creators Project Altogether Cat++ feels like a cross between live coding and a video game—for me, at least. I’ve released just a basic framework on Github with a few functions to support feeding and petting the cats. There are also random events that…
