Could melting ice cream become a thing of the past?
Scientists at the Universities of Edinburgh and Dundee have discovered a naturally occurring protein that could enable ice creams to keep frozen for longer in hot weather.
The protein binds together the air, fat and water in ice cream, creating a super-smooth consistency.
The protein which occurs naturally in some friendly bacteria could also be used to create ice cream with lower levels of saturated fat - and fewer calories - than at present.
This discovery could be hugely beneficial to manufacturers, who could benefit from a reduced need to deep-freeze their products.

Scientists reveal ultrafast melting dynamics in matter heated to extreme temperatures
Ordinary matter behaves very differently when subjected to extreme temperatures and pressures, such as that inside stellar and planetary cores. Conventional rules of condensed matter physics and plasma physics are not applicable in such scenarios. In particular, an extreme state known as “warm dense matter” (WDM) straddles the boundary of condensed matter physics and plasma physics.
One might think that such states can never be created in a terrestrial setting. But, in fact, short laser pulses that are only femtoseconds (10-15 s, or a quadrillionth of a second) long are intense enough to recreate such conditions in a laboratory. Conventional physical models that describe such states typically assume that electrons become excited by the laser pulse attain equilibrium within tens of femtoseconds while the ions remain “cold.” However, in doing so, the non-equilibrium dynamics of the electrons are completely disregarded.

Excited to share that I made this art for Connor O'Brien’s incredible new album. Check it out. It’s amazing.

Some good ol’ backyard lost-foam aluminum casting!
Is this the most improvised way to melt and cast aluminum ever!
We attempted to make a furnace out of a flowerpot!
Hey Folks!! We just released a new, very limited (only 30 prints in this edition!), archival print.
“We’re All In This Together”
Maybe we are all losing our shit, but we really are all in this together. Don’t forget that with this hand signed and numbered limited edition of 30 archival gicleé prints on Somerset Watercolor paper. Image size 18 x 24 inches (457 x 610mm) + a white border around for total paper size of 22 x 28 inches.
The original image was an acrylic painting with gold leaf on board.
NOTE: From here on out, we will be pouring any profits from your purchases into restoring the 130 year old house in the Japanese countryside that kozy purchased to make a creative retreat for people to experience the other side of Japan beyond the big city life. So please consider buying a new kozyndan limited edition!
