Colin Self: Art in the Nuclear Age

Pallant House Gallery presents the summer exhibition Colin Self: Art in the Nuclear Age, the most comprehensive display to date of works by leading British Pop artist Colin Self (b.1941). This challenging exhibition considers the artist’s engagement with modern culture in the era of the Cold War, and is the first show of its kind to bring together the most important pieces from each period of the artist’s life, from the 1960s to the present day. This important exhibition, which comprises around one hundred paintings, drawings and sculptures by Self, includes iconic works such as Leopardskin Nuclear Bomber (1962-3); pieces never shown before such as Strike: Waiting Women on the Shore (1963/2008); important contemporary works including New York Disaster (1998); and the controversial Trilogy: The Iconoclasts (2007).

Self-Healing System Applied to Aviation

ScienceDaily is reporting that the self-healing materials are being used in some new aircraft designs. We covered several self-healing systems in the past months, but it is nice to see it starting to find practical applications. "This simple but ingenious technique, similar to the bruising and bleeding/healing processes we see after we cut ourselves, has been developed by aerospace engineers at Bristol University, with funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). It has potential to be applied wherever fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are used. These lightweight, high-performance materials are proving increasingly popular not only in aircraft but also in car, wind turbine and even spacecraft manufacture.

Self-Healing Computers for Damaged Spaceships

What happens when a robotic space probe breaks down millions of miles away from the nearest spacecraft engineer? If there is a software bug, engineers can sometimes correct the problem by uploading new commands, but what if the computer hardware fails? If the hardware is controlling something critical like the thrusters or communications system, there isn't a lot mission control can do; the mission may be lost. Sometimes failed satellites can be recovered from orbit, but as there's no interplanetary towing service for missions to Mars. Can anything be done for damaged computer systems far from home? The answer might lie in a project called "Scalable Self-Configurable Architecture for Reusable Space Systems". But don't worry, machines aren't becoming self-aware, they're just learning how to fix themselves…

When Is a Self-Signed SSL Certificate Acceptable?

UltraLoser writes "When is it acceptable to encourage users to accept a self-signed SSL cert? Recently the staff of a certain Web site turned on optional SSL with a self-signed and domain-mismatched certificate for its users and encourages them to add an exception for this certificate. Their defense is that it is just as secure as one signed by a commercial CA; and because their site exists for the distribution of copyrighted material the staff do not want to have their personal information in the hands of a CA. In their situation is it acceptable to encourage users to trust this certificate or is this giving users a false sense of security?"

Self-Healing Computer Systems: Coming Soon to a Spacecraft Near You

A professor and some students at the University of Arizona are working on a project to build self-healing computers to be used on spacecraft. The theory is that these systems can catch and fix errors before they compromise the entire mission and save millions of dollars. Their work has garnered funding from NASA and support from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
