Are you a segway fan? Are you obsessed with Star War and Star Trek? Acting like the Star War kid? Wear glasses with big thick frame? Carry more than 1 pen in the shirt’s pocket with pocket protector? Love javascript, computer codes, multimedia? Were in Audio/Video Club, Glee Club, Chess Club, etc in high school? Have a dog? Have a library of action figures? Mowing your pastime away? And…the last most important question: do you consider your skin is fairly white?

Watch out; it might be you. Do you have these nerdy symptoms? Watch the video to find out.

Interesting technology. I wonder how much an OLED-integrated shirt will cost.

Digital images transferred to clothing.

At MIT’s Media Lab, researchers are developing fashion accessories on which patterns and designs can change according to the wearer’s whim, and fashion prints can be shared virally via wireless communication.

*** *** ***

The idea is for OLED-integrated clothing to display digital images and designs, updating whenever the wearer desires. A T-shirt could be solid blue one day and striped the next, says project director Judith Donath. These digital images could then be transmitted wirelessly to clothing worn by other people, thereby creating a sort of “viral fashion.”

While the idea of OLED-integrated clothing is not new — the military has been researching adaptive camouflage for years — the MIT approach to fashion and viral propagation is innovative.

Here is a neat animation taking a closer look at the cell interior through microscope eyes. The video starts with some cells crawling along the inner surface of a blood vessel. Then it zooms in onto the cell membrane, showing proteins and carbohydrates or glycoprotein floating on lipid bilayer. The lipid membrane is connected to delicate cytoskeleton (microtubule-microfilament network). The movie continues on and demonstrates the dynamic assembly and disintegration of this tubular network fromtwo spindle-shaped centrioles orienting in 90 degrees with each other. Motor proteins dynein and kinesin walks along the tubules to carry materials from one site to another.

This flash video then focuses on transcription and translation of genetic materials in nuclues. mRNA is transcribed from DNA and moves out of nuclues thru nuclear pores of the nuclear envelope. In the cytoplasm, mRNA associates with ribosome and starts translation process to synthesize proteins. Then the proteins moves from ER (endoplasmic reticulum) to Golgi apparatus, and finally to vacuole which fuses with cell membrane and releases its protein content to cell surface. The protein molecules then anchor on the cell surface and, thru the interaction with extracellular matrix and other cells, help move the cell along the blood vessel.
