Eyeball

A close-up, top-down photograph of a glowing red sphere with a dark circular center. The interior surface is marked by dense, radiating lines and dark, irregular patches that create a texture similar to an eye's iris or a biological cell. The light source is positioned behind the object, creating a bright crimson glow that fades into a soft, out-of-focus blur around the edges.

Description: What is in the photo? A red eyeball! It is actually a by-product after a column. Save “useless” product sometimes. Maybe it will be a miracle in the future, like becoming an eyeball! In Hanson research group, we will design and synthesis light absorbing and emitting molecules. Making molecules with different structures can change the electrochemical and photophysical properties. Follow us to see more cool molecules.
