Univers Revolved

Letters are an inherently two-dimensional affair. They can convey deep meaning, but are confined to the flat surface of the page. Ji Lee, a designer now with Facebook, was playing around with some 3-D software and noticed that he could rotate litters around their central axis. All of a sudden, they became toy-like shapes.

He was able to use the letter as a physical object, to break away from the linear and build visual representations made from the actual letters of the word. 

For starters, can you figure out the words in the lower left? If you feel like that’s too easy, Lee created the world in the bottom right for you to explore (Hint: Try to find “ROCKET”).

See more at Univers Revolved, test your 3-D knowledge, and check out the book on Amazon.

Element 114 is Named Flerovium and Element 116 is Named Livermorium
IUPAC has officially approved the name flerovium, with symbol Fl, for the element of atomic number 114 and the name livermorium, with symbol Lv, for the element of atomic number 116. Priority for the discovery of these elements was assigned, in accordance with the agreed criteria, to the collaboration between the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna, Russia) and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (Livermore, California, USA). The collaborating team has proposed the names flerovium and livermorium which have now been formally approved by IUPAC. (continue)
