Roland Piquepaille's Technology Trends
How new technologies are modifying our way of life


mercredi 5 juin 2002
 

These are not the Webby Awards. This is a collection of about 50 sites which have something really neat to offer: science. Let's look at the introduction.

For the second annual Scientific American.com Sci/Tech Web Awards, the editors have again sifted through the virtual piles of pages to find the top sites for your browsing pleasure. This eclectic mix of 50 sites -- five sites in each of 10 subject categories -- runs the gamut from the serious and information-packed to the more whimsical, and even playful, sides of science and technology.

These 50 sites are classified in ten categories:

  • Archaeology & Paleontology
  • Astronomy & Astrophysics
  • Biology
  • Chemistry
  • Computer Science
  • Earth & Environment
  • Engineering & Technology
  • Mathematics
  • Medicine
  • Physics

Here are my three favourite sites:

  • The Cave of Lascaux (and no, it's not because I'm French!)
  • A.L.I.C.E. AI Foundation, one of the oldest "chatterbots" (select the "Talk to Alice" -- on the Web or via IRC -- on the right bar to start a dialog with Alice)
  • The Virtual Autopsy
