Dancing in the quantum world - physicsworld.com

A new project known as "Danceroom Spectroscopy" represents a genuine fusion of art and science, resulting in an impressive visual art show that is driven by real physical laws.

The project's mastermind is David Glowacki, a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK. In this special video report, Glowacki talks to Physics World journalist James Dacey about his stimulus for the project and how the technology involved was inspired by some of the concepts from his research in theoretical chemistry. Glowacki describes how the project came about through a conversation with a friend about making music via motion. "What we quickly found out was that the idea had been done to death, so I came up with a more interesting way of attacking that problem," he explains.

HANDS-ON CERN -- English version

Hands-on-CERN (HoC) is an educational project at the scientific frontier of physics. It is aimed at teachers and high school students studying natural sciences. The purpose of this project/course is to increase understanding of the most fundamental processes inside matter, and to explain modern research about particle collisions.

NASA: Climate change may bring big ecosystem changes

By 2100, global climate change will modify plant communities covering almost half of Earth's land surface and will drive the conversion of nearly 40 percent of land-based ecosystems from one major ecological community type - such as forest, grassland or tundra - toward another, according to a new NASA and university computer modeling study.
