Gamma‑Ray All-Sky Map
This image from the Fermi Gamma‑ray Space Telescope shows an all‑sky map based on galactic coordinates gathered over one year of observations.
Free Floating Plasma Orb
A free‑floating atmospheric pressure ball plasma is created when surface electricity is discharged into a solution.
Anisotropy Patterns
Models of anisotropy patterns are useful for understanding phenomena like the coordinated motions of heart tissue or wave flows in chemical reactions .
Electron Emission from Stripes
Graph of the calculated amount of electrons emitted by copper-based superconductors when exposed to ultraviolet light.
Red Dye Crowned in Milk
This crown is formed by the splash and droplets of a 2-mm drop of red dye impacting on a thin layer of milk.
Coupled Waveguides
Coupled waveguides have properties that could be ideal for storing of quantum information.
