| "Cerebellum" "In 'Brainbow' transgenic mice, nerve cells randomly express fluorescent proteins of different colors. Combinations of these proteins label neurons with multiple distinct colors, allowing one to parse out their processes. In this image from a portion of the cerebellum, the multicolor labeling reveals the intricate meshwork created by 'mossy fiber' axons forming synapses in the area (large spots).

| "Electrons injected at one point contact, the “sun,” flow in a wire riddled with random imperfections. The quantum aspect of the electrons is shown in color: we follow the wave nature of the electrons by assigning red to the crest of the wave, cyan to a trough, continuously around the color circle."

| "Nanowire Array" "Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of aligned ZnO nanowire arrays synthesized by a vapor-solid process. The source materials used for the synthesis were commercial ZnO, SnO2 and graphite powders, which were placed in a tube furnace. By heating the source materials to a high temperature, reduction of Sn from SnO2 occurred, which served as the catalyst for the growth of ZnO nanowires. This material is the fundamental structure for biosensing, manipulation of cells, electron field emission, and converting mechanical energy (such as body movement, muscle contraction, heart beating, blood flow..) into electricity for powering nanodevices."

| "DNA Nano Tracks" "DNA nano train tracks held together by double-strand DNA bridges. The dsDNA is too thin to see, but we know they are there because the alignments of neighboring tracks are so perfect. This is from our recent paper (S.-H. Park, G. Finkelstein & T.H. LaBean (2008) Stepwise Assembly of DNA Tile Lattices using dsDNA Bridges, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 130, 40-41.): " Thom LaBean Duke University | ||||
