The Beauty in Time!

I finally come around and have time to process the pottery photos I took in the archeology museum in Nemea and Mycenae, Greece. Here are some of my favorites.

Action Packed September!

September was a busy but very exciting month. On top of being published in an advertisement in Sports Illustrated. Couple of the cutting edge projects I worked on went live last week.

To start with, Intel announced a new technology breakthrough that will change the landscape of data communication. Light Peak is an optical datacom technology that can carry 10G/s over an optical cable. With only few days in the public eyes since IDF, it generated a lot of interests. It's unblievably light and compact when you hold it in your hands. Amazing how much more data it can carry comparing to the copper cable.

Here is the original Intel Press Release and couple other publications that give you more details on the impact of the technology: Technology Review and Popular Science.

On the other end of the spectrum is the microfluidic 48X48 Access array lab on a chip and Stem cell chip from Fluidigm. A single and incredibly compact(palm size) 48X48 chip can perform mind-boggling 2305 experiments and analysis at the same time. It provides a way of rapid genome sequencing which pave the way for personalize DNA data base. Here is the access array chip photo published on Nature magazine. Stem cell chip provides an amazing platform to culture skin cell into stem cell for research purposes! You can see the full story here.

Here is a one of my favorite stem cell chip very close up shots. You can see those way cool valves and micro-channels.
