MIT Created Music Using Proteins

This is really neat. Can we get a protein soundtrack?

via MOTHERBOARD

The amino acid chains that make up proteins can be easily visualized as a sequence of musical notes, according to Markus Buehler, a materials scientist at MIT. Buehler and his colleagues used the similarities between these sequences to convert 20 types of amino acids into a 20-tone scale. The results, published in a study published Wednesday in ACS Nano, include trippy original songs and fresh insights into protein structure.

From Matthew Joseph via Creative Boom:

The Pilton Portrait provides the viewer with a brief snapshot of life beyond the Pyramid Stage – attempting to reach the core of what (and who) makes Glastonbury what it is. From young to old, fringe performers to circus acts, sewage collectors to charity workers – each with their own unique reason for being there, each truly fascinating in their own way.

PiJuice NatureJuice Project #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi

NewImage

Shared by Francesco Vannini on Hackster.io:

This project requires the PIR to be connected directly to the PiJuice instead of the Raspberry Pi so that power will only be provided when necessary thereby saving the battery charge as much as possible.

The ability to efficiently use the battery charge is one of the main features of this project and we have optimised the configuration of both the software and the hardware so that the Raspberry Pi is powered on only when required and with the minimum of its hardware running. Have a look at How to save power on your Raspberry Pi to know more.

Foxconn Wisconsin update #foxconn #makerbusiness

One year after Foxconn groundbreaking… The Verge.

…the plans do include: a “VR experience room,” a meditation room, a VIP viewing bridge, and various meeting rooms. Additional renderings released by Mount Pleasant earlier this month note that there will be a “Japanese garden,” and provide detailed descriptions of the shrubbery. They do not, however, say anything about LCD manufacturing.
