![]() | Japanese scientists create mice with no fear of cats om and Jerry just wouldn't have been the same if it had featured one of Ko Kobayakawa's mice. The Tokyo University professor has just unveiled mutant mice that have lost their innate fear of cats. Rather than flee or freeze when confronted with their feline enemy, the mice sniffed and even played with them, blissfully unaware of the potential dangers. Kobayakawa developed the fearless mice by shutting down receptors in their olfactory bulb - the area of the brain that processes information about smells - which would normally induce panic as soon as they get so much as a whiff of a cat. |

![]() | Scientists Create Glow-in-The-Dark Cats Cats are glowing in the dark in South Korea and scientists say it's an achievement that could help develop cures for human genetic diseases. At first glance, the fluffy white kitties may look normal, but there are two big things that make them very different. First, the cats are clones. And second, they glow. When the felines are put under ultraviolet light, they glow a dull red. Scientists manipulated the donor cat's genetic code, then passed those changes on to the clones. A procedure, scientists say could help develop treatments for diseases that impact both animals and humans. http://cbs13.com/watercooler/cats.glow.in.2.611027.html http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/681537/Glow_Cat_Glow.html |

![]() | Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the WiiRemote Using the infrared camera in the Wii remote and a head mounted sensor bar (two IR LEDs), you can accurately track the location of your head and render view dependent images on the screen. This effectively transforms your display into a portal to a virtual environment. The display properly reacts to head and body movement as if it were a real window creating a realistic illusion of depth and space. By Johnny Chung Lee, Carnegie Mellon University.

![]() | Paper Art by Peter Callesen Which one is your favourite? Taken from Peter's website http://www.petercallesen.com/index/index2.html "About my paper works My paper works have lately been based around an exploration of the relationship between two and three dimensionality. I find this materialization of a flat piece of paper into a 3D form almost as a magic process - or maybe one could call it obvious magic, because the process is obvious and the figures still stick to their origin, without the possibility of escaping. In that sense there is also an aspect of something tragic in most of the cuts. Some of the small paper cuts relate to a universe of fairy tales and romanticism, as for instance "Impenetrable Castle" inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", in which a tin soldier falls in love with a paper ballerina, living in a paper castle. Other paper cuts are small dramas in which small figures are lost within and threatened by the huge powerful nature. Others again are turning the inside out, or letting the front and the back of the paper meet - dealing with impossibility, illusions, and reflections. I find the A4 sheet of paper interesting to work with, because it probably still is the most common and consumed media and format for carrying information today, and in that sense it is something very loaded. This means that we rarely notice the actual materiality of the A4 paper. By removing all the information and starting from scratch using the blank white 80gsm A4 paper as a base for my creations, I feel that I have found a material which, on one hand, we all are able to relate to, and which on the other hand is non-loaded and neutral and therefore easier to fill with different meanings. The thin white paper also gives the paper sculptures a fragility which underlines the tragic and romantic theme of the works." Another PowerPoint has been "tubed" |
