Science at Play: Disney's Interactive Technology Lets You Jam Out with Your Plants

Disney researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have developed new technology that will bring your plants to life. Based on the principle that all living things contain natural electric energy, scientists are using computers to tap into this energy and make it possible for us as humans to go so far as to play music with a rhododendron!

Now don't fear for the plants, these researchers assure us that the process is completely non-invasive. Simply by placing a wire in the plants soil and attaching it to the computer software, we are able to interact with the plant. The software allows the plant to detect our touch location or even estimate our frequency of grasp and contact, thus our being able to play a plant like an instrument.

For anyone paying attention to today’s pop culture scene, it was easy to predict who would win big at this year’s Teen Choice Awards.

The winners are voted on by teenagers who cast their votes online, and the categories stem from the typical favorites and have come to include Choice Tweeter (Justin Beiber), choice vampire (Robert Pattinson), choice web star (Rebecca Black) and other zany categories.

THE SCENE
Best Dressed: MTV Movie Awards 2011

During last night’s MTV Movie Awards, we saw all of our favorite celebrities decked out in their best Award-worthy outfits. We saw everything from ball gowns to mini dresses to even rompers, and we loved them all (for the most part!). Some of the major trends highlighted were lace, animal print, and metallic designs. Here are our top 15 favorite looks from this year’s event...

1. Selena Gomez’s Giambattista Valli-designed look topped our list. The Disney starlet opted for light, summery-toned separates and a clutch designed by Cecilia. She told MTV's red carpet reporter and Project Runway alum Christian Siriano that as soon as she saw the trendy, but age-appropriate look, she was sure it the one!

Disney Stars Brought to Life

Photographer Annie Leibovitz has been working with Disney to bring us our favorite characters reimagined as celebrities. She was called in to do a project called the Year of a Million Dreams campaign. Her photos are, as always, fantastic, and she works extremely hard to bring the original scenes to life.

The real draw, however, is the huge celebrity cast and costumes. Leibovitz has JLo and Marc Anthony and Princess Jasmine and Aladdin, soaring high on a magic carpet in homage to the “A Whole New World” world scene of the movie. Jennifer’s costume breaks away from Jasmine’s blue, but the gold accentuates her skin tone and highlights the sunset Leibovitz carefully captures in the background. Penelope Cruz poses majestically in Belle’s yellow ballgown, lifted by Jeff Bridges as The Beast against an ominous background. Olivia Wilde is Snow White’s frightening evil step-mother with Alec Baldwin as the Magic Mirror. Snow White herself is Rachel Weisz.

A Disney Take on Superman


Robb Pratt, a Disney heavy weight animator with Pocahontas, Hercules, and Tarzan under his belt, took on a little project he’d had in the back of his mind for a long time. What he made was an homage to the Man of Steel himself, and although it’s a little under a minute long, it’s a marvel of animation on the web. The film is produced and storyboarded by Pratt and he is joined at the animation table by only two others.

It’s a testament to classical animation. Smooth and clever, every movement in the film is eye-catching and has the audience hungry for more. In it, a Metropolis similar to the early 40s setting of the first comics and animated shorts by Max Fleischer is attacked by a giant robot, and it’s up to Superman to save the day. Clark Kent, journalist for the Daily Planet-- who is completely unrelated to, though suspiciously sounds like-- our titular hero, is voiced by John Netwon. Newton himself starred as Superboy in the 80s T.V. series, The Adventures of Superboy. Even the music itself is taken from the live-action Superman serial, and is composed by Mischa Bakaleinikoff. Pratt notes that the Superman seen here is meant to be a composite of all of the actors who have portrayed him.
