Corrado Maggi Paints Portraits of Life at Agora Gallery

Chelsea's Agora Gallery will feature the original work of Italian artist, Corrado Maggi in Altered States of Reality: an Exhibition of Analog and Digital Photography.

2012-04-24

NEW YORK, NY, April 24, 2012 (Press-News.org) With a sharp eye for the crisp, the pristine and the exquisite, Italian photographer Corrado Maggi delicately and expertly shoots ephemeral moments of beauty in everyday life. A self-taught artist, Maggi gained his artistry through organic, passionate study of the world around him, as well as by learning from the example of professional photographers. "I love art in general and the observation, the study of photographs of the great photographers of the past," he says.

Through his works, he seeks to temper the fervor of his soul with the meticulousness of his rational self. The result is that the viewer is taken on a voyage through the fluctuation and tenacity of the human imagination. Vivacious, saturated colors are boldly met by velvety blacks and whites, and tell a story that is at once tangibly human and poignantly whimsical. Maggi is avidly dedicated to continued observation of life and master photographers, a fact which shows through his evocative glimpses into resonance and which inspires his marvelously appealing images.

Exhibition Dates: April 24, 2012 - May 15, 2012
Reception: Thursday, April 26, 2012, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Gallery Location: 530 West 25th St, New York City

Unusual protein helps regulate key cell communication pathway

2012-04-24

Tiny pores, or channels, embedded in cell membranes are critical to the healthy functioning of cells. Charged atoms, or ions, move through these channels to generate the electrical signals that allow cells to communicate with one another. New research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis unveils some of the inner workings of certain channels involved in regulating electrical signals in nerve cells, relaxing muscle cells and "tuning" hair cells in the inner ear. In a report published April 22 in the advance online edition of the journal Nature, the ...

Compressed sensing allows super-resolution microscopy imaging of live cell structures

2012-04-24

Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology and University of California San Francisco have advanced scientists' ability to view a clear picture of a single cellular structure in motion. By identifying molecules using compressed sensing, this new method provides needed spatial resolution plus a faster temporal resolution than previously possible. Despite many achievements in the field of super-resolution microscopy in the past few years with spatial resolution advances, live-cell imaging has remained a challenge because of the need for high temporal resolution. ...

The effects of weak magnetic fields on cancer cells and other aspects of biology

2012-04-24

We are surrounded by a constantly changing magnetic field, be it the Earth's or those emanating from devices, such as cell phones. Carlos Martino, an assistant professor at the University of Nevada, Reno, is interested in understanding how these magnetic-field fluctuations change biochemical reactions inside us. Martino explains that the subject is controversial. "Our research shows that exposure to different types of magnetic fields affect biological response," he says. "More importantly, the exposure levels are well below the standard levels" approved by the World ...
