THE MISSION OF THE ART | SCI CENTER
To pursue, facilitate and promote research and programs that demonstrate the potential of media
arts and science collaborations. Media artists and scientists from the home campus, UCLA, from
the UC system, the national and international communities will approach the center's intention to
address ethical, social and environmental issues of contemporary scientific innovations and
artistic projects that respond to cutting-edge inventions and research.

Quantified: 2005 Physics
A numerical perspective on Nature authors.
In 2005, the Year of Physics, Nature published more than 900 papers describing original research, of which 39%
were in the physical sciences. The 2005 physics paper most accessed online described a new kind of 'benchtop' nuclear fusion (B. Naranjo et al. Nature 434, 1115–1117; 2005).
The second most accessed paper shows that the potential destructiveness of hurricanes has increased since
the mid-1970s, and suggests that future global warming may increase hurricanes' destructiveness still further (K.
Emanuel Nature 436, 686–688; 2005). And the third reveals that the climate of the past 2,000 years was more
variable than we thought, although the 1990s remain the warmest decade on record (A. Moberg et al. Nature
433, 613–617; 2005).
34,108 downloads have been made of the paper by B. Naranjo et al. since its publication in April 2005.
42 countries hosted authors contributing to Nature's physics papers in 2005.
2,469 authors contributed to research in the physical sciences published in Nature in 2005.
5 is the median number of authors per Nature paper published in the physical sciences in 2005.

``I was observing the motion of a boat which was rapidly drawn along a narrow channel by a pair of
horses, when the boat suddenly stopped - not so the mass of water in the channel which it had put
in motion; it accumulated round the prow of the vessel in a state of violent agitation, then suddenly
leaving it behind, rolled forward with great velocity, assuming the form of a large solitary elevation, a
rounded, smooth and well-defined heap of water, which continued its course along the channel
apparently without change of form or diminution of speed. I followed it on horseback, and overtook
it still rolling on at a rate of some eight or nine miles an hour, preserving its original figure some
thirty feet long and a foot to a foot and a half in height. Its height gradually diminished, and after a
chase of one or two miles I lost it in the windings of the channel. Such, in the month of August
1834, was my first chance interview with that singular and beautiful phenomenon which I have
called the Wave of Translation'' John Scott Russell, Union Canal at Hermiston
