The idea of a platform between two whole numbers might seem impossible to imagine. However, for someone working with fractals in math, the challenge is not so different. Fractals are used to measure things between dimensions, as in something that's more than 2-D, but not quite 3-D. A National Science Foundation mathematician created this fractal to better understand how wind would move oceanographic sensors in an eddy. This is just a snapshot in time, but wind would push the sensors back and forth, making it uncertain where they might go. Because of the stochastic nature -- a kind of organized randomness -- this fractal helps visualize the scenario and come up with an optimal control so sensors use as little battery as possible and minimize displacement.

A microbial partnership thriving in an acidic hot spring in Yellowstone National Park has surrendered some of its lifestyle secrets to researchers. The team isolated the archaeon Nanopusillus acidilobi and cultured these tiny microbes just 100 to 300 billionths of a meter in size and can now study how they interact with their host, another archaeon (Acidilobus). The relationships between these two organisms can serve as a valuable model to study the evolution and mechanisms of more complex systems.

A young Hawaiian Goose (Nene) flexing its muscles and showing off its developing feathers at WWT Slimbridge.
The nene is the world's rarest goose. The nature reserve WWT Slimbridge, in England, was instrumental in the successful breeding of Hawaiian geese in captivity. Under the direction of conservationist Peter Scott, it was bred back from the brink of extinction during the 1950s for later re-introduction into the wild in Hawaiʻi. There are still Hawaiian geese at Slimbridge today.

Self-balancing scooters — better known as hoverboards (though they do not hover) — can spark, smoke, catch fire or explode, says the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Zambians have turned to Twitter to point out factual errors and criticize the tone in a British actress's memoir about her gap year in their country.
BlackBerry says it's discontinuing the final model that has the traditional clickety keyboard and trackpad — darlings of government workers, businesspeople and early episodes of House of Cards.
Over the past half-century, advances in technology have forced a drop in deaths caused by technical lapses. And now, we count on technology to save us from our own errors. But we can do better.

Giacomo's Windows 10 desktop doesn't have a ton of skins or moving parts, but combined with that wallpaper it's pretty dramatic. Here's how he set it all up, and how you can too.
Even though it's Windows 10, Rainmeter still works beautifully on it. If you're not familiar with Rainmeter, here's a handy getting started guide (albeit a bit dated) that will help you make your first custom desktop.
From there, here's what you'll need:
That's about it. Not too many skins, and of course, if you don't need three clocks on your desktop, you can omit one or two of them to create your own look. If you like the look, head over to Giacomo's Flickr page (linked below) or over to his personal blog to let him know that you like his work!
Do you have a good-looking, functional desktop of your own to show off? Share it with us! Post it to your personal Kinja blog using the tag DesktopShowcase or add it to our Lifehacker Desktop Show and Tell Flickr pool. Screenshots must be at least at least 1280x720 and please include information about what you used, links to your wallpaper, skins, and themes, and any other relevant details. If your awesome desktop catches our eye, you might get featured!
