Giant Christmas Tree Made From China Plates Mugs And Teacups
Giant Christmas Tree Made From China Plates Mugs And Teacups
Townspeople from Hasselt, Belgium collaborated with Inge Vanluyd and Stefan Vanbergen of the Belgian studio Mooz to create this giant Christmas tree in the town square. Residents donated extra unused plates and cups to help create the tree, which is comprised of over 5,000 pieces of china dinnerware and stands over nine meters tall and six meters in diameter. The tree was dubbed the "Taste Tree" due to Hasselt being known as "the capital of taste".

Giant Clams Could Help Us Make Better Screens and Solar Cells
Giant Clams Could Help Us Make Better Screens and Solar Cells
Researchers from the University of California in Santa Barbara are investigating how giant clams produce each of their shades. These creatures, native to the Pacific and Indian oceans, have cells known as iridocytes that use their structure to scatter light waves and produce iridescent shades. In the species Tridacna maxima and Tridacna derasa, for example, the clams generate their white hues by mixing colors in a way similar to how video displays mix red, blue, and green pixels to create white. Scientists are hoping that by better understanding how this phenomenon works in giant clams they will be able to create more efficient solar panels and color displays in the future.
