SUMMARY:Silicon Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:Title: Silicon chemistry\, and its consequences for silicon-based life \nAbstract: The “Silicon Lifeform” is a common trope in modern science fiction\, but can such life really occur naturally?  The role of silicon in terrestrial lifeforms is minimal\, for reasons that have to do with differences in the behavior of carbon and silicon in ambient settings. The circumstances necessary for silicon to participate in “interesting” chemistry are different from normal physiological conditions.  Like carbon\, silicon has a vast range of known chemistry which can create complex assemblies of atoms\, but it is not clear whether this ability is enough to produce the kind of self-replicating biochemistry observed for carbon-rich life.  A consideration of the structure of known silicon compounds\, and the conditions necessary for their formation can provide inspiration for the aspiring hard science fiction writer to create worlds where silicon-based life can thrive. \nBy Dr. Mike Shaw

SUMMARY:Land of Knots
DESCRIPTION:Land of Knots (under development) is an interactive space to explore knots and tangles and their applications to Physics\, Biology\, Chemistry and even the movements of dancers and robots. Knot theory is also an exciting branch of modern mathematics. As my colleague Greg Buck wrote:\n\nIt’s often said that Mathematics is the science of patterns. Of all patterns\, knots are among the most robust\, the most universal. For this reason their scientific applications are so widespread. In addition\, knots find themselves as universal forms of cultural and artistic expression. Knot tying is one of humanity’s oldest technologies. We will follow the common thread tying these subjects to one another\, interleaving the cultural and scientific ways of knowing.\n\nLand of Knots will contain interactive demos illustrating the basics of knot theory but also various applications\, especially to DNA knotting / tangling\, Celtic knotting\, knots in dynamical systems (Lorenz attractor).  Visitors will be able to download knot models from a web server\, create random knots from scratch and to relax and modify this to new forms. Much of the scripting will be using the Lua programming language.\n \nBy Rob Scharein\, Ph.D.
