A quiet giant turned lighthouse for the SF. For one surreal week, beams of light carved rainbows into the fog, transforming steel and sky into something like magic, visible from miles, unforgettable up close. #SciArt #SutroTower

I am happy to release canvas prints of one of my favorite pieces of geometrical physics art! "Poinsot's Dancing Cones" store.elkement.art/products/poi... ... a visualization of the motion of a force-free spinning top - based on Louis Poinsot's geometric theory of the gyroscope. #SciArt #MathArt

I'm pretty jealous of the penguins who got to enjoy the "ring of fire" annular #eclipse over Antarctica today... 🐧 Luckily I have an eclipse lineup to console myself: totality socks, jewelry, and eclipse glasses 😉 🔗 sciencesocks.co/coll...#eclipse 🔭🐡🧪🎨

A chilling video about the usage of AI in the higher echelons of science: How astrophysicists at the Institude of Advanced Study in Princeton "don't care" about any implications of AI "because they need to stay competitive" and "AI can already do 90% of our job": www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pctl...

It was @elkement.art that saw the comb of a cartoon chicken in last Friday's artwork 😅 That made me think of it wiggling. This GIF is done a bit quick and dirty, for the sake of fun. It is so trippy. I feel weird looking at it, hahaha 🐔 #art #gif #wiggle #heart #keradamo

My geometrical drawing "Lissajous Trilogy" (2025) is now available in my store as canvas prints in three sizes! 3D Lissajous Figures constructed from their 2D projections, created in a traditional painstaking process - an analog calculation. store.elkement.art/products/lis... #SciArt #MathArt

A friend who runs a blog had the nerve to tell me that he uses ChatGPT art because he respects artists so much and can't afford to pay them what they deserve. I told him to pretend it's 2010. There was a time recently when we didn't have this technology. Do the work yourself or don't do it at all!

When I say I create scientific art I mean I’m over here painting 1364 stars by hand as accurately as possible 😅

🧵1/6 Chien-Shiung Wu shattered one of physics' core assumptions. ⚛️ In 1957, she proved that nature does distinguish between left & right in weak interactions. Before her, physicists thought mirrors didn't matter in fundamental laws. She flipped that on its head.🧪 #histsci #WomenInSTEM #science

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

Here it is - the complete series "Poinsot's Pixel Spaceship" on T-shirts! store.elkement.art/pages/t-shirts A tribute to Louis Poinsot's theory of the gyroscope: Energy ellipsoid and angular momentum sphere intersecting each other, visualized as sparkling "spaceships"! #SciArt #MathArt #Physics

🧵 This amazing pic by Matteo Dunchi features the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), rising over the Italian Alps in July 2015. Although M31 appears in the sky as a faint and fuzzy blob to the unaided eye, its light is about 2.5 Myr old, making it likely the oldest... ➡️ apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap15081... 🔭 🧪 1/8

🧵 Do you know the effect called cloud iridescence or irisation?🧪 When parts of clouds are thin and have similar size droplets, diffraction can make them shine with colours like a corona.🔭 In fact, the colours are essentially corona fragments. ⚛️ ➡️ apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap14070... #sky #Nature 1/4

I am probably working on a new series of mugs - using the cylindrical surface of a mug in a mathematically exact way :) "Stargate of Diffraction" Diffracted intensity of light as a function of angle, for different wavelengths (and a diffraction grating with 3 slits)! #SciArt #MathArt #Physics

Working on the edges of canvas prints of "Lissajous Trilogy", the construction of 3D Lissajous figures! Scan the drawing -> extend the image by mirrored versions -> "liquefy" the mirrored parts digitally (manually, with a digital pen). This is mockup of the 12"x12" version of the print:

Evening It’s been a while. Here’s some additions from me for today’s #BlueSkyArtShow and the theme of ‘cold’ #photography #formations

It is finally done!! A geometrical construction - an analog calculation - of a symmetrical ellipsoid rolling on an invariable plane. This concept is used to visualized the motion of a force-free spinning top, to which this abstract ellipsoid is "attached". #MathArt #SciArt #Physics

My #MathArt started as a typical pandemic pandemic project: "Deadly mutants are after us. What can give us hope? This innocuous-looking function is a sublime light in the dark. It proves you can always recover. If your perseverance is infinite." elkement.art/2021/01/24/m... #SciArt

Day 1 (of 7) of the math art class I’m leading is in the books. We have 15 kids (9th and 10th graders). It’s exhausting! But I think it went well! Kids built a George Hart Sculpture (actually we made two of them!) and we learned about V-E+F=2. #MathArt #mtbos

An old but nice visualization of Dirac's Belt Trick - how to undo a rotation by 720° while keeping one end of the belt fixed: www.gregegan.net/APPLETS/21/2...

Dirac's Belt Trick (2024): A rotation by 720° can be undone, in a way a 360° rotation can't. The topology of rotations in 3D space is generally weirder than one might think. Watercolor pencils, markers and acrylics on A3 paper. #SciArt Analog #MathArt Prints: www.inprnt.com/gallery/elke...

Already two weeks in the making - still work in progress! Physics of the gyroscope: Poinsot's ellipsoid is rolling along the invariable plane. An analog 3D visualization: Graphite pencil construction (orthographic projection), colored pencils and black fine liner. #SciArt #MathArt #Physics

3D visualization before software: Maxwell once created a plaster model of a thermodynamic surface for Gibbs. This surface relates energy, volume, and entropy for a water-like substance. It exemplifies Gibbs' geometric approach to thermodynamics. carnotcycle.wordpress.com/2014/06/01/t...

Here's the particular figure I was manipulating (and replicating). Quite a fetching curve, if I do say so myself.

I don't seem to have cultivated the sort of social circle where I could say, "Post your #Lissajous figures!" #Math #Art #MathArt #ThatsFunToSay
