Philly Mosaic Legend Isaiah Zagar Dies at 86, Leaving Walls Brimming with Color

Legendary Philadelphia mosaic artist Isaiah Zagar, founder of Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens, died at 86 from heart failure and Parkinson’s disease. A self-taught creator who embedded broken glass, mirrors and found objects across South Philadelphia, his immersive murals transformed the city’s public spaces and reshaped Philadelphia’s art identity; his family will donate his body to Johns Hopkins for medical research, and a public memorial will be announced later.

AI drafts lab recipes to yield 35 potential new compounds

An open-source AI named MOSAIC clusters about one million patent reactions and trains thousands of specialist models to predict reaction conditions and draft complete, executable lab procedures, enabling researchers to synthesize 35 novel compounds with potential pharmaceutical, agrochemical, or cosmetic uses without further data trawling.

MOSAIC harnesses collective AI to accelerate chemical synthesis and new reactions

Nature previews MOSAIC, a framework that pools millions of reaction protocols into 2,498 specialized chemical experts anchored in Voronoi-clustered spaces on Llama-3.1-8B-instruct, delivering reproducible, executable synthesis protocols with confidence metrics. In experimental tests, MOSAIC achieved a 71% success rate and enabled the synthesis of over 35 novel compounds across pharmaceuticals, materials, agrochemicals, and cosmetics, including new reaction methodologies not present in the training data.

Mosaic web browser: 30 years of changing the world.

The Mosaic web browser, launched 30 years ago this month, combined text and images in the same window and allowed users to click on hyperlinks to go to other pages or sites. It was a major innovation that made looking at websites like reading a magazine page. Mosaic's features of combining words and images on one web page, its use of embedded hyperlinks, and its standard UI are the basics for all web browsers released afterwards. Its impact on the growth of the web and its impact on daily life shows the kind of dramatic payoff that NSF investments in computer science research can have for all areas of science and engineering, education and society as a whole.

"Explore Mars in Unprecedented Detail with New 5.7 Terapixel Map"

Caltech has created the highest-resolution global image of Mars ever, a 5.7 terapixel mosaic, using data from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The mosaic captures cliffsides, impact craters, and dust devil tracks in stunning detail and is accessible to everyone, from scientists to schoolchildren and the general public. The mosaic took six years and tens of thousands of hours to develop and is so detailed that more than 120 peer-reviewed science papers have already cited a beta version. The mosaic is designed to lower the barriers for people who are interested in exploring Mars.

"Experience Mars like never before with interactive NASA mosaic"

A new interactive mosaic of Mars, composed of 110,000 images from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, allows scientists and the public to explore the planet in vivid detail. The Global CTX Mosaic of Mars is the highest-resolution global image of the Red Planet ever created, covering nearly 270 square feet of surface per pixel. The mosaic took six years and tens of thousands of hours to develop and includes different layers of data that can be turned on or off. It is accessible to everyone and can be used to explore areas being explored by NASA's Curiosity and Perseverance rovers.

Roman Mosaic Unearthed During Supermarket Construction.

Archaeologists in England have discovered a "fantastic" Roman mosaic on land earmarked for a supermarket, suggesting a villa once occupied the site. The colored tiles of the mosaic were unearthed by a team of experts from Oxford Archaeology who were asked to survey the plot of land in the town of Olney, near Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire, ahead of work to construct an Aldi store on the site. The mosaic still displays "vibrant colours and intricate decorative patterns," according to a press release from Oxford Archaeology.
