Art Based on Numbers

Dots are used to represent the adjacency between digits. Each digit 0-9 is represented by a colored segment. Dots assigned to a segment represent digits that follow the digit represented by the segment. The position of the dot is roughly the position within the number that the digit appears.

Physicists twist water into knots with 3D printer

Nature: More than a century after the idea was first floated, physicists have finally figured out how to tie water in knots in the laboratory. Creating a knot in a fluid bears little resemblance to tying a knot in a shoelace. The entire three-dimensional (3D) volume of a fluid within a confined region, such as a vortex, must be twisted. Physicists Dustin Kleckner and William Irvine have now created a knotted vortex using a miniature version of an aeroplane wing built with a 3D printer. The researchers submerged their tiny wings in a tank of water and gave it a sudden acceleration to create a knotted structure. This research was conducted at the Irvine Lab at University of Chicago.

3D printers, a tool for both art and technology :)
