Ceci n’est pas une jellyfish

A digital illustration of a dark, deep-red crystalline structure that bears a resemblance to a jellyfish. The "bell" of the structure is a solid, dark horizontal mass, from which long, needle-like red shards and filaments hang down like tentacles. This entire form is set against a vibrant, brush-textured turquoise background, creating a sharp contrast that makes the structure appear as if it is floating in a bright, tropical sea.

Description: As a perylene diimide derivative dried, it formed crystals in the bottom of the vial. A portion of those crystals made an interesting shape. These molecules will eventually be used for a singlet fission solar cells.
