Label Thinning Air and Ice Artist Amy Holt Description This picture was captured from the Antisana volcano, on the surface of Antisana 12 glacier (~ 4751 m above sea level), Ecuador in February 2020, as part of the Vanishing Glacier Projects’s (NOMIS foundation) global field campaign. Here, samples are being taken for dissolved organic matter…

Label Paleostorm History Artist Shakura Jahan Description This work depicts collecting suspended particulate organic matter samples by filtering lake water from a coastal lake in the northern Gulf Coast of Florida. This research will help us to see the possible sources of organic matter in lake sediments, from which we can learn about paleoenvironment and…

Label Crystal Flowers Artist Maya Chaabang Description The image shows the crystal growth of an organic salt, the product of a failed synthesis. The goal was to co-crystallize the organic salt with metal halides and study their photophysical properties. However, I ended up with these yellow emissive flower-like crystals of the organic salt alone. I…

Label Through the Rainbow Artist Alexander Bieber Description The image contains various solutions of semiconductor nanocrystals or aromatic dye molecules that were excited with a blue laser. Understanding light-matter interactions will help push solar cells, lighting, and other semiconductor technologies towards their maximum efficiencies. Type Cell Phone Camera Artist Affiliation Graduate Student Department Chemistry and…

Label Garnet and Gold Artist Zach VanOrman Description Each vial in the image contains differently sized quantum dots (QDs), which are fluorescent under ultraviolet excitation. The redder QDs are larger, causing their band gap to be smaller, and emit lower energy light (red vs. yellow). QDs can be used in displays, or in our case,…

Label Snow Globe Artist Noelle Watson Description Pictured is a cuvette containing zirconium oxide (ZrO2) suspended in acetonitrile. In the Hanson lab, nanocrystalline ZrO2 is used as a substrate for the construction of surface-bound molecular assemblies. The unique properties of ZrO2 allow us to investigate the surface chemistry of these assemblies using spectroscopic methods. Type…

Label The Many Faces of Zinc Oxide Artist Raul Ortega Description This work depicts the photoluminescence of zinc oxide nanocrystals. Different emission colors can be achieved through multiple structural manipulations of these nanocrystals. In this work, green is chromium (III) doped zinc oxide, yellow is quantum confined zinc oxide, and red is europium (III) doped…

Label Reflections of a Sabellid Artist Samantha Politano Description I investigated the presence and characteristics of sabellid worms on mangrove roots hosting sponges in Bocas del Toro, Panama. This research may illuminate a relationship between the two invertebrates. Type Cell Phone Camera Artist Affiliation Undergraduate Student Department EOAS Area of Research Sponge Ecology Date 2018

Label The power of the code Artist Jason Lynn Description Tiny pieces of DNA code in specific locations can produce massive effects on an organism. We see in this photograph the power of that code – causing the intense production of a pigment protein which makes these maize kernels appear dark purple. This is the…

Label Continue to Grow Artist Lauren Schulte Description We grow maize plants in a variety of genetic backgrounds in order to study gene regulatory mechanisms. Here we see brace roots aiding in the plant’s stability as it grows. By studying how maize genes are regulated we can further understand maize development and aid agricultural endeavors.…
