So the Discovery Channel is putting together a new show featuring high-speed cameras, intended to demonstrate every day marvels that can’t be observed with the naked eye, eg champagne bottle being opened, cat licking its paw, or a silicon wafer fracturing in real time. Prof. Buonassisi is going to mention the idea to the show’s rep, as she had expressed interest in including a project from the mech e department. Folks at the museum of science are also interested in the video. I’m excited to go back to school and help work on one that’s even better – good lighting, better positioning, varying samples. I uploaded one clip to my public: http://web.mit.edu/ariadnes/Public/PV/
