Cornell University researchers have created a highly efficient wave-mixing process to prevent light from converting back in nonlinear optically active materials. By adding dopants, this process blocks the interaction between the pump and signal, resulting in up to 65% conversion of pump energy for femtosecond pulses and up to 80% for picosecond pulses. This technology has vast uses in photonics, such as telecommunications and directed energy devices. 🖇️ https://ow.ly/WQoF50Roqve To learn more or obtain a license for this process, please contact our licensing team Jesús M García-Figueroa or Ryan Luebke. #Photonics #PhysicalSciences

I am glad to see the discernment between "artmaking" and "Art Therapy," and the standards that Art Therapy is a regulated profession in this article. Credentialed Art Therapists train the same number of years as a physician for their credentials, 8 years -- most train more. Art Therapists diagnose and treat all of the emotional and mental health realms cited in the article -- and do so as these conditions are defined in law. Even art and stress-reduction is defined as "Art Therapy" for which a "license [is] required" in many states. Art Therapists are under attack by the National Endowment for the Arts, which grant-funds unqualified artists to practice Art Therapy, even with the most vulnerable and affected mental health consumers and communities in the name of 'do-gooding.' The NEA's FY25 budget request "Healing through the Arts" (which is my trademarked name, they know), seeks to mainstream the unqualified practice of Art Therapy. This exceeds the NEA's 1965 Congressional enabling legislation confining its work and related appropriations to "arts and culture" only. Unfortunately, some Art Therapists and accredited Art Therapy training programs are not upholding the AATA's "minimum of a Master's degree in Art Therapy" to offer Art Therapy, and are actually "training," or "collaborating" with non-Art Therapists to provide the services they know are regulated, qualified, licensed. Some are even issuing "Certificates" that create confusion around Art Therapists' Board Certification credential (the 8+ year one). This is a consumer protection and workers' rights issue we are sure to see a lot of across America unless Congress makes sure every art and healthcare, art and healing appropriation uses a credentialed Art Therapist. Art Therapists should work to build the qualified workforce, rather than take dirty money to hollow out the profession. It helps no one. #arttherapy #healingthroughthearts #AATA #NEA #mentalhealth

A 2010 study looked at how teaching artists' art practice affected their teaching practice. Among other things, the study found that teaching artists engage cognitive processes in students by encouraging them to question things and seek meaning. https://ow.ly/zUMF50UsghA

Finding the Right Conflict: How to Spark Innovation in Engineering Design TRIZ, a theory of inventive problem-solving, relies on identifying contradictions to generate innovative solutions. A new study by Sébastien Dubois (1,2); Hicham CHIBANE (1,2); and Roland DE GUIO (1,2) from 1: INSA Strasbourg; 2: Icube, CSIP explore two methods to prioritize these contradictions in complex design challenges (via ICED23 Proceedings: DS 122). https://lnkd.in/gsj3n2Ky Join the "Design is a Team Sport" movement at ICED25 Dallas. How can we use TRIZ to solve complex design problems? What are the pros and cons of experimentation vs. simulation in the design process?

Dr. Gregory Salter, Associate Professor in History of Art at the University of Birmingham, has written a new article about our 2023 exhibition, Ed Webb-Ingall's 'A Bedroom for Everyone'. Gregory’s research centres on art in Britain since 1945, particularly focussing on histories of gender, sexuality, migration, and ideas of home/ the domestic. 🏡 Drawing on the use of the archive and history in Ed’s work, Gregory speaks to the way in which ‘A Bedroom for Everyone’ draws parallels between the present-day housing crisis and housing struggles under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s. Parallels that feel particularly pertinent within the context of Birmingham given the City Council’s bankruptcy announcement late last year and the intensive regeneration plans in place for Digbeth and other areas in the city. 🏙️ Despite the disheartening similarities between the present and the past featured in the work, which perhaps indicate a lack of change or progress, Gregory points to the way in which Ed’s work serves to generate and foster camaraderie, solidarity, and resistance. Illustrating how the world could be, and has been, different. 🌍 As Gregory writes: ‘This is art not as service provision, even as arts institutions have been increasingly compelled to frame their work in such terms by funders, but art as a space of demystification, mobilisation, and possibility.’ 💙 You can read the whole article here 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ggDnHFwA 📸 Image by Patrick Dandy, 2023 [Image description - A landscape image of a large screen within a darkened gallery space.

Art isn't just a subject; it's a powerful way for students to express themselves and bring their ideas to life! We encourage our students to explore their creativity and learn how to visualize their thoughts through art. https://bit.ly/3X8xkc5 #SISGroupOfSchools #EducationForChange #EmpoweringLeaders #FutureGlobalSolutions #SingaporeSchool #schoolsindonesia
