The Laughing Wolf

A Quick View Of The Science

I promised the other day to try and post some pictures from the New Horizons in Science Briefing put on in an outstanding manner by the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing (CASW). Most of my pictures come from the trip to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and were taken with my handy-dandy new camera phone. This was both a test of the system, and the fact that I left my good digital camera back in my room. Net result wasn’t too bad, but let’s see what you think.

The phone is a Samsung V205, and the service is T-Mobile. Quick note is that T-Mobile service was not available and what was available would not let me send the pictures in Oak Ridge or Knoxville. It wasn't until I returned to a T-Mobile area that full digital returned.

This is a part of the site for the new Spallation Neutron Source. Much more extends back to the right. Most of it is underground, including a good bit between the camera and the building.

Some nanotechnology that was passed around, with the business parts being a bit small for camera resolution. Remember that the nano parts have to be placed on something larger so we can handle it.

A unit that can be clipped to a pocket, lapel, etc. that uses nanosensors.

Just wanted to share a bit.
