Quantum Biology + Computer Science: Photosynthesis, Quantum Coherence & Constructive Noise
“Nature isn’t classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you’d better make it quantum mechanical, and by golly it’s a wonderful problem, because it doesn’t look so easy.” — Richard Feynman Photosynthesis is an amazingly efficient and fast circular process of energy conversion that’s evolved in bacteria and plants overContinue reading “Quantum Biology + Computer Science: Photosynthesis, Quantum Coherence & Constructive Noise”
Star Core I & II by Studio Shangri-La
Conceptual abstract photography on the expression of light / photons, for me a form of reverence. This is duo is also formed from light reflections on metal. The abstraction imagines thermonuclear fusion, awesome cosmic power, and imagining stars as vast data transmission centers, since light carries information. I’m also inspired by my ongoing studies bothContinue reading “Star Core I & II by Studio Shangri-La”
Space + Technology: Advanced Propulsion For Interstellar Travel
With a very promising 5,347 exoplanets and counting reported to NASA, the next question is: How do we get to them anytime soon? How do we expand humanity’s evolution into deep space? Respect to Earth of course, but our numbers are growing, and we’re due to explore the vast cosmos. The answer is to developContinue reading “Space + Technology: Advanced Propulsion For Interstellar Travel”

Tech Essay: Studying Quantum Biological Processes To Improve Quantum Technologies
There are two reference sources for this article: The MIT xPRO Quantum Computing Fundamentals program & the textbook “Quantum Effects In Biology.” Upon first consideration, Quantum Computing and Quantum Biology seem to be very different fields, utilizing the principles of quantum mechanics in different ways. Quantum computing involves using quantum bits or qubits to performContinue reading “Tech Essay: Studying Quantum Biological Processes To Improve Quantum Technologies”
Tech Essay: A Global Quantum Overview
*This is one of my responses from the MIT Quantum Computing 1 course* As I read about global quantum initiatives, it strikes me that every network advance is a step towards further international interconnectedness, defense agendas aside. I know that’s a big aside. The somewhat ‘mysterious’ nature of quantum physics and mechanics makes us haveContinue reading “Tech Essay: A Global Quantum Overview”
Health + Performance: Optimization With Adaptogens
It’s well documented that genetic expression is sculpted by environment. “A substantial body of research reveals that specific genes can be expressed at different times in an organism’s life. Whether a particular gene is expressed and the degree to which it is expressed depend strongly on the environmental conditions experienced by the organism.” (1) EpigeneticsContinue reading “Health + Performance: Optimization With Adaptogens”
Chemistry + Longevity: Redox, Iron Oxide & Reverse Rusting
Sometimes a mere change in verbiage can expand perspective. Case in point: Referring to a gain in electron flow as “reduction.” When it comes to nature though, gains and losses are actually exchange because energy cannot be destroyed. (1) The oxidation-reduction reaction is a complimentary process of electron transfer referred to as “redox” in whichContinue reading “Chemistry + Longevity: Redox, Iron Oxide & Reverse Rusting”
Featured Artwork + Concept: Nanostructures
This featured artwork takes on the subject of MIT Nano Building 3, specifically the evocative looking clean room on the ground floor. The idea of this series is turning the architecture of the building into a multidimensional microelectronic style rendering, a tribute to the tiny nanoscale world, to beauty and ingenuity, to the institution itself.Continue reading “Featured Artwork + Concept: Nanostructures”
Featured Artwork + Concept: “Decision Tree”
With “Decision Tree” I was inspired by the evolutionary choices of species that leads to different adaptations. The overlapping Cubist style layout in both is an abstraction of overlapping decision trees, expressive of possible paths of one or more species or situations. These are photos I took of actual trees, so in that way thereContinue reading “Featured Artwork + Concept: “Decision Tree””
