- Photos of my new fav mug! 😊 "Stargate of Diffraction" Scientifically exact intensity of diffracted light vs. angle for different wavelengths. I am using the cylindrical surface in a mathematically accurate way! Available in my store: store.elkement.art/products/sta... #SciArt #MathArt #Physics
- This is a series of four: The code-generated designs (No AI!) differ by: Number of slits in the diffraction grating, width of slits and their distance. store.elkement.art/pages/physic... Other mug series: 3D Lissajous Figures rendered as tubes, hand-drawn intersection of ellipsoid and sphere.
- From this - very detailed and interesting - article on antique home computers I learned that Atari had once used watercolor illustrations in their manuals: technicshistory.com/2026/01/25/t...
- "A lovely watercolor illustration of the expandability of the Atari 800, from the operator’s manual. The manual as a whole is a work of art, and reflects the care that Atari put into making the system approachable to people unfamiliar with computers."
- Five hours well spent - Richard Behiel's mathematical and rigorous, yet entertaining video on the conceptual relations between superconductivity and the Higgs field: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkH1...
- I spent several years working on high-temperature superconductors in the 1990s, and the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 rekindled my passion for physics once again. So, seeing all of that tied up in such a beautiful video really is a treat!
