FROM DILIP MUKERJEA

"Genius is in-born, may it never be still-born."

"Oysters, irritated by grains of sand, give birth to pearls. Brains, irritated by curiosity, give birth to ideas."

"Brainpower is the bridge to the future; it is what transports you from wishful thinking to willful doing."

"Unless you keep learning & growing, the status quo has no status."

MY FAVOURITE PICTURE FOR THE WEEK: MOTH'S EYE


The tiny bumps on this moth's eye, magnified by 1340x in this scanning electron micrograps, are smaller than wavelengths of incoming light.

A moth's eyes don't glimmer in the light helping these insects stay hidden from predators.

The same technique could be used to make anti-reflective screens for televisions and cell phones.
