Opalized wood. Petrified wood is basically fossilized wood that has had it’s organic matter replaced by a mineral such as agate, bit by bit, as it decomposes. The wood structure is maintained, but the wood fibers are slowly changed into stone. Sometimes a jasper, quartz, pyrite or even opal(shown above) can be found fossilized in wood.

GUYS

THERE ARE ONLY 35 NOTES ON THIS

they printed stem cells with a 3D printer

they printed stem cells with a 3D printer

THEY PRINTED STEM CELLS WITH A 3D PRINTER

THEY PRINTED STEM CELLS WITH A 3D PRINTER

THEY PRINTED STEM CELLS WITH A 3D MOTHERFUCKING PRINTER

DO YOU SHITHEADS GET HOW BIG A FUCKING DEAL THIS IS?!

DO YOU THINK THIS IS A FUCKING GAME?!?!?!

also cool gold

fucking stem cells holy shiiiit

fuck the stem cells THERE ARE BIONIC EYEBALLS

No but

These 3-D Portraits Were Created Using Only A Person’s DNA

Stranger Visions is an art project which tries to determine what we look like based on a single strand of hair.

How much information about ourselves do we leave behind in public, as we shed saliva, hair, and sweat throughout the day? It’s a question that drives the artwork of Heather Dewey-Hagborg, whose project Stranger Visions reconstructs the faces of the anonymous as 3-D printed sculptures, using genetic detritus found in chewing gum, cigarette butts, and wads of hair around New York City.

Aerogel, also know as frozen smoke, is the world’s lowest density solid, clocking in at 96% air. If you hold a small piece in your hand, it’s practically impossible to either see or feel, but if you poke it, it’s like styrofoam. It supports up to 4,000 times its own weight and can withstand a direct blast from two pounds of dynamite. It’s also the best insulator in existence.

Chemistry at its finest

can i eat that

Why don’t we use this for everything?!?

This shit is about the coolest thing ever. 

It’s such a great insulator that a thin layer of it will protect anything from the heat of a bunsen burner.

Even though it’s incredibly light and has an extremely low density, its lattice-like molecular structure makes it able to hold objects much greater in mass.

What if you got loads of it, and made a bed, you could pretend you were a pegasus

Possibly one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.

Again, because science boner.

But if it’s FROZEN smoke, then why doesn’t the bunsen burner melt the frozen-ness, and the smoke just wisps away? 

Also, I’m confused about how making a bed out of Aerogel would lead to pretending to be a pegasus…. I would pretend I was sleeping on a cloud!

Scientists successfully generate gasoline out of thin air
Breakthrough technology takes carbon, hydrogen and oxygen from CO2 and water in the air to create methanol and then converts it into gasoline.

We’ll never hear about this again. And we may never hear from those scientists again.

Amazing though.

Big Oil’s gonna be piiiiiiiiissed

Somebody go put these folks in the witness protection program before they get hits put on them by ExxonMobil

just in time for me to  get my first whip

PUT THIS EVERYWHERE.

Now HERE’S a post that needs 4 million notes!

EVERYBODY REBLOG

I’ve actually heard of a man mysteriously disappearing after he refused to the government to not go through with his making of a substitute of gasoline with water. So everybody needs to reblog. Seriously.

YOU COULD SAVE THESE SCIENTISTS LIVES. OR AT LEAST THEIR VOICES.

Tim Knowles - Tree Drawings (2006)

Artist’s statement:

“A series of drawings produced using drawing implements attached to the tips of tree branches, the wind’s effects on the tree, recorded on paper. 

Like signatures each drawing reveals the different qualities and characteristics of each tree.”

J.R.R Tolkien Fan Builds a Hobbit Hole with 2,600 Balloons: In celebrating the upcoming release of The Hobbit, Utah-based Balloon artist Jeremy Telford turned his family living room into an authentic hobbit hole using 2,600 hand-pumped balloons over three days in about 40 hours of work. If you’re curious about the process, be sure to check out the behind-the-scenes video!

How many pigeons does it take to use a drinking fountain? In Brisbane, Australia, apparently the answer is three! Earlier this month, a trio of industrious birds Down Under figured out how to operate a water fountain by observing humans and then making their move when the coast was clear. The feathered friends reportedly spent 10 minutes bathing and sipping from the fountain, taking turns pushing the lever for each other until all were quenched. Who are you calling a birdbrain now?
