About RanDome

There are over 1 billion people in the world without adequate shelter. RanDome is a patented method which greatly reduces the complexity of constructing domes. It is our hope that the RanDome method can be adopted for use in temporary or permanent structures for people in need.

Help us make this dream a reality.

protons, neutrons and nuclear geometry, Bucky style

Alan Michelson  is generous with his computer skills. Alan create this graph and this chart to help me investigate and share a mathematical relationship that exists of the ratio of protons and neutrons in an atom. I think this explanation of the proton/neutron ratio is new. I'm just saying...

my friend at tensegrity wiki

Thanks go to http://tensegrity.wikispaces.com/ for a wicked good job putting together and maintaining a scientific tensegrity wiki blog. It has pages and links to all things tensegrity. It's up to date, too.

http://tensegrity.wikispaces.com

Here is one link tensegrity.wiki has added today to the site which takes you to several of Adrian Rossiter's latest and  revolutionary jitterbug movies, inspired by Joe Clinton's jitterbugging tetrahedron. Thanks, Adrian. Thanks, Joe.

Buckyballs Found In Space

Buckyballs-278x225

Twenty-five years after the discovery of buckyballs, the 60-packs of carbon molecules are found again -- this time in space, baked into the death shroud of a sun-like star.

In 1985, Kroto, with the University of Sussex in the United Kingdom at the time, and colleagues at Rice University in Texas were conducting laboratory experiments to try to understand how long chains of carbon molecules could be made. The carbon chains were found in interstellar space with radio telescopes in the 1970s.

They ended up discovering a third form of solid carbon, perfectly symmetrical geodesic spheres, which they named buckminsterfullerene after the American architect Buckminster Fuller. The most widely known fullerene is a buckyball -- 60 carbon atoms arranged by pentagons and hexagons into a hollow molecular cage one-billionth of a meter wide.
