Scientists analyze the physics of Jackson Pollock's famous painting technique - The Washington
Jackson Pollock's distinctively drippy style earned him a spot in the pantheon of abstract expressionists.

In a recent paper in the journal PLOS One, a group of physicists from Mexico and the United States looked at the artist's famous drips. They wanted to understand how his works were created and use physics to capture his unique style.
They analyzed Pollock's painting technique using fluid dynamics, a branch of physics that explores how liquids and gases move. To do so, they watched films of the painter at work, measured his hand speed and re-created it in the lab.
Community of Microbes: augmented reality merges art and science - The Verge
Don't look now, but there's something on your shirt... and your arm, and your... well, everything. Microbes. They're tiny little passengers that do all sorts of things, and most people tend to ignore them, or think they're incredibly gross — but not Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya .
Her newest exhibit, Community of Microbes , highlights eight invisible, microscopic communities in a wonderful celebration of color and science. Viewers can step into the space and use their phones to view the colorful, enlarged representations of microbes around them in AR.

Things Go BOOM at King’s College, for Halloween, science fun | Times Leader
Dozens of eager children waved their “pick-me, pick-me” arms, each hoping associate professor of chemistry Trent Snider would choose him or her to help with a scientific demo Tuesday evening as the 23rd annual “Things that Go Boom in the Night” got under way at King’s College.
“I need somebody who comes every year,” Snider said, choosing a girl in a Superwoman costume.
