Capillary Origami: a scientific and creative

Here is a portrait of researcher that illustrates some creative behavior among scientists. José Bico, researcher and lecturer at Higher School of Physics and Chemistry of Paris (ESPCI) . The questioning of José Bico is built around the explanation of behavior hydrophobic or hydrophilic material, said simply, why drops of water by sticking to my windshield and why such slip on feathers canard.Il explains simply that these properties do or do not mount a liquid in a tube whose diameter and very low and therefore give rise to capillary action.

At the Graduate School of Physics and Chemistry of the city of Paris, José Bico trying to understand how the drops of water on a slide or agglomerate surface.

In the idea of identifying the work of José Bico creative behavior, it is interesting to identify in this report some creative processes. What is quite commonly observed in the researcher and the process of questioning and the experimental method which is almost inevitable in scientific work. Then there are several examples in the narratives of exchanges with other disciplines: there are examples of collaboration with laboratories studying nanotechnology and work with botanists. Another aspect that shows the video and grist to my mill is the evolution of couples scientific facts / questions. And I come to the purpose of this section, a change point of view that gives rise to a new application:
  1. water sticks to the glass - how to prevent water from sticking to glass
  2. Water agglomerates of small-scale structures - How to avoid the capillary destroy the mechanical structures at very small scales?
  3. Water agglomerates of small-scale structures - How could the capillary to form structures?
We can observe this in scientific thinking two changes significantly between 3 couples Done-questions. Couples 1 and 2 show two scientific facts are included as constraints and these give rise to a couple questions, each requiring a curative solution. Speaking just between 1 and 2 problems but changes are implemented the same approach to resolution.
Then the torque between 2 and 3 on scientific fact does not vary. As against this change of approach, using a scientific fact which had a negative connotation as a phenomenon that can provide technological potential. We see here an example of flexibility in equestionnement scientist who creates something new. After experimentation, the work of José Bico give birth to the association of two domains scientists who had not yet encountered: the elasticity of materials and study of surface tension. We find therefore bissociation giving birth to a dicipline that seems very poetic: capillary origami.

Arduino and electronics

Why not talk about creativity in terms of theory, methods or activities. To change I return to my principles. I assume the tech enthusiast I am, just to write a little about what is, in my opinion, more than a simple electronic kits: The framework Arduino.

This little card, Italian design and manufacturing, may be one of the bricks that will create a bridge between the world of hardware and software.
robotics enthusiasts or simply know of course electronic micro-controllers, the famous PICs, and can legitimately ask the question: what's new? To this question I would say ease of use. As I do not program very much and I have done more electronic artwork - I developed a legitimate fear towards any development environment in complicated. I hope not to be too presumptuous to say that this scared me acquire a sharpened trial to detect what is easily accessible or not.


Un compteur de claps réalisé avec arduino à l'ensci! on Twitpic Electronics is an area that cools a lot of us, surely traumatized by practical work on op amps or combinatorial logic. What I discovered with Arduino and attracted me in the early hours of training provided by Petrevski by Uros - Ecole Nationale Superieure de Creation Industrielle and co-designer NodesignLab - is a lego whose potential lies not in its technical performance but in its ability to make you take your first steps in electronics.


This little card accompanied by some son of a breadboard, a few basic components and some technical data found on the internet, you will produce a model in a few hours. Obviously, you need some knowledge in electronics and computer that does not make an Arduino a kit to all hands. However if you're computer and you're frustrated not to interact with your applications with the surrounding reality, whether you're an electronics chilly to the idea of encoding something other than the assembler, or even if you are a designer and you want to connect your achievement, please invest in a bric a brac electronics or take training ENSCI (a kit is available) and start now! You have the chance to discover or rediscover the electronics in a design school where machine tools, 3D printers meet.

Now to stay in the theme of the blog is interesting to ask question of creative aspects of this framework. I see Arduino as a significant step in making electronic practicable by a larger number. Leaving the world's electronic expert, these initiatives allow the computer programmer, designer or simply an amateur to implement the interactions. This little kit, therefore, allows the multi-diciplinarité and facilitates new combinations of ideas. In the life of an experienced these moments of openness to new possibilities are rather rare and accelerator design and originality. New possibilities for associative logic, new analogies overwhelm you just testing this new field discovered.

Some examples of achievements in video and some elements that will give you an overview of the mood of course:

Groping In Indian Car



Flashback :

about two weeks ago, down underground. I go to Berri-UQAM telling me that I will find a bus going north. Issued at Shebrooke (street, not the city), I still have not found the bus. At the light, I heard two ladies (one of my age and older, who seem not to know) to discuss how best to go north. I ask them if they know where the buses. They respond that, yes, but they depart from Berri-UQAM and are delivered to our full height. The older of the two says it will take a taxi and we can ship with it. Both live near my new apartment. So we are looking for a taxi. This was not easy. (After a loooong search, a group of four boys is trying to steal the taxi that we wanted to, but they decide to leave when they see the heart with which the girl of my age started to run towards the taxi , coupled with the icy stare that I gave them run.)

During our long walk, the lady informs us that she will retire two weeks later. It works for my former employer.

After arrival, the lady would not let me pay part of the taxi. She said to consider it as my "aunt montreal.


Yesterday:

I will join friends in a pub in Old Montreal. There is a retirement party behind us. I hear that's a retiree from my former employer. The lady is very similar to the one with whom I shared a taxi. It's stronger than me, I must go talk to him. It's actually her. I wish him a wonderful retirement.

I enjoyed it more punchée finish, but there's nothing else to say about it.

Moving in 15 days! I think I'll spend the first week in my new apartment for just spin about myself in the middle of the show. Maybe even humming.
