Staff report
For more than 40 years, artist Gendron Jensen's work has focused on "the bony relics," creatures whose environs embrace watery, earthy and airy habitats from all over the world. Persons interested in the artist's singular vision will have an opportunity this week to learn about his creative process from Jensen himself at a special lecture Saturday (Jan. 8), 2 p.m., in the new Arthur Bell Auditorium at the University of New Mexico's Harwood Museum of Art, 238 Ledoux St.

An age of choices comes to an end
To print large-scale images of the oldest trees in the United States and Vietnam, Meridel Rubenstein mixed techniques from photography's nearly 170-year history.

How Does It Work? Water molecules strongly attract each other, linking to form a tight connection around each bubble of carbon dioxide gas in the soda. To form a new bubble, water molecules must push away from one another. It takes extra energy to break the surface tension. Water resists the expansion of bubbles in the soda. The Mentos candies have tiny air holes that compress the carbon dioxide from the Diet Coke, causing an eruption to occur. When Mentos are dropped into soda, the gelatin and gum arabic of the candy dissolves and breaks the surface tension. This disrupts the water connection, resulting in it taking less work to expand and form new bubbles. Each Mentos candy has thousands of tiny pores on its surface. They function as nucleation sites, ideal places for carbon dioxid...
