Look at These Beautiful Planets JK They’re Bacteria From Public Buses

If you’re the kind of person who carries hand sanitizer everywhere you go, then you’re aware—maybe too aware—of the colonies of bacteria camped out on everything from gas pumps to ATM machines. Marco Castelli plays to your worst fears in his series A Micro Odyssey.

Oh sure, they look like photographs of distant planets. But they’re petri dishes awash in bacteria found in bank terminals, public buses and women’s bathrooms, photographed against pictures of the stars. Yet suspended in space, they are surprisingly beautiful. “It’s fantastic to let microorganisms meet stars,” Castelli says.

Perspective-aware Manipulation of Portrait Photos

Research from University of Princeton Department of Computer Science demonstrating method to alter portrait selfies as distant camera shots through computation to improve appearance of subject:

This paper introduces a method to modify the apparent relative pose and distance between camera and subject given a single portrait photo. Our approach fits a full perspective camera and a parametric 3D head model to the portrait, and then builds a 2D warp in the image plane to approximate the effect of a desired change in 3D. We show that this model is capable of correcting objectionable artifacts such as the large noses sometimes seen in “selfies,” or to deliberately bring a distant camera closer to the subject. This framework can also be used to re-pose the subject, as well as to create stereo pairs from an input portrait. We show convincing results on both an existing dataset as well as a new dataset we captured to validate our method.

Scientists record heat moving through materials at speed of sound

Providing unprecedented insight into roles played by individual atomic and nano-scale features, researchers have recorded the first-ever videos showing how heat moves through materials at the nano-scale traveling at the speed of sound.

The groundbreaking videos were made using a state-of-the-art ultrafast electron microscope called FEI Tecnai Femto, which is capable of examining the dynamics of materials at the atomic and molecular scale over time spans measured in femtoseconds (one millionth of a billionth of a second).
