"They say bigger is better, but sometimes tiny is more interesting. Today, Nikon released the list of winners for its annual 'Small World' photomicrography contest, and the images are mesmerizing. The winner is a close-up shot of a mosquito heart, taken as part of Jonas King’s research into the bug’s mechanisms for transmitting pathogens like malaria."

This project featured Dot, "The world's smallest stop-motion animation character, shot on a Nokia N8. Professor Fletcher's invention of the CellScope, which is a Nokia device with a microscope attachment, was the inspiration for a teeny-tiny film created by Sumo Science at Aardman. It stars a 9mm girl called Dot as she struggles through a microscopic world. All the minuscule detail was shot using CellScope technology and a Nokia N8, with its 12 megapixel camera and Carl Zeiss optics."
"Finally, a nice, lethal alternative to all those "feel good" fur- and Lego-covered monstrosities I see rolling around the Burning Man neighborhoods here in SF -- and a very serious way to keep people from sitting on your car. It's on display at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art right now: Italian artist Luca Pancrazzi's Maserati Quattroporte covered with 1,763 lbs. of shattered glass."
