Better Electronics with Butterfly Technology
The new design mimics two advantages of butterfly wings: optical enhancement and water resistance.
Virtual Biology: An Interview with Illustra Animator Joseph Condeelis
The documentary Metamorphosis, like previous Illustra masterpieces, contains visualizations of biological systems that cannot be photographed in real time. Joseph Condeelis of Light Productions is the genius behind many of the animated sequences.
Butterfly Surveys Find Design, Not Darwin

Bringing Metamorphosis to the Screen: An Interview with Jerry Harned
Jerry Harned is the Editor for Illustra Media. ENV asked him about the work that goes into a top-flight production like this.
A Mathematician Explains the Irreducible Complexity of Metamorphosis
In my 2000 Mathematical Intelligencer article “A Mathematician’s View of Evolution,” I compared the development of the genetic code of life with the development of a computer program, such as my finite element code PDE2D.
