The Art of Science. (From Newsweek, June 28, 1993).
Computers are translating data into pictures.

There are whole, lovely worlds inside atoms. Tall, dark mountains of neutrons
surround deep blue fjords of magnetism, and coastlines offer views of silver
electrons that flash and burn in the sky. Remote from the everyday work of
physics - all wires, equations and lab coats - so much beauty seems the
province of painters, not physicists. But modern supercomputers are now
starting to translate decidedly unlovely columns of numbers, the meat of modern
science, into landscapes. As supercolliders, satellites and sharp-minded math-
ematicians hack data trails into the wilderness of modern science, these com-
puters are working to change the information into pictures, where the eye can
notice patterns that would remain invisible in the endless streams of numbers.
