Molecular Expressions

No longer must you be an artist to see unexpected colors, patterns, and depth in the world around you: You just need a scanning electron microscope. At the Molecular Expressions gallery, things both pedestrian (soap bubbles, beer, spinach) and rare (moon rocks, rubies, superconductors) have been magnified gazillions of times to reveal their hidden beauty. Here's a sampling of some of the curious pictures you will find there.
