David Bowie at the Victoria and Albert museum. I’m trying to figure out if there is symmetry here or not.

From Science magazine:

Three possible phases of the kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet, a model of geometrically “frustrated ” magnetism: the diamond-pattern valence bond crystal (lower left), honeycomb valence bond crystal (lower right), and quantum spin liquid (upper empty wedge). Deviations of bond strengths from their average values are shown by bond widths and colors (red, stronger; blue, weaker). The simulations of Yan et al. (p. http://www.sciencemag.org/content/332/6034/1173.short) show that the true ground-state phase is the quantum spin liquid. Image: Steven R. White, University of California, Irvine.

Philip Taaffe is the ultimate in weaving texture in paint.

To add dimension to a flat room, try intricate, graphic, well-constructed patterns.

Marc Hofer for The New York Times.

This picture accompanies an article on the increased use of DDT in Uganda. I am impressed by the dresses worn for working with a hoe.
