@RuxandraTeslo@patrickc@WorksInProgMag@stripe This looks like such an interesting magazine! As a scientific photographic artist, I would love to write an article about one of my projects for it sometime.
On the microscopic regime, micelles jitter chaotically in the molecular storm of Brownian motion, but this situation is more relaxed. The surface tension of this soap film exhibits strong elasticity that dampens the Brownian storm.
Happy #SmallWorldInMotionMonday! Epsom salt is a hydrated salt, meaning it incorporates water molecules into its crystal structure.π§

Turing patterns are a type of spontaneous pattern formation that can emerge when a system is far from equilibrium and has the capacity for diffusion and reaction. Here we see such a formation in a liquid crystal as it undergoes a phase change as it oscillates around a temperature
A nucleation point is a site where the process of nucleation occurs. Nucleation is the initial step in the formation of a thin crystalline film. Here we see a nucleation point bursting into flower. #physics#sciart#microscopy#STEMeducation#research#chemistry#nature
@JanMartinek4@NikonSmallWorld There are 2 stages of crystallisation. The first stage happens when the molecules in solution stick together to form a sea of tiny particles. After a time, these small particles decay back into solution and re-solidify into larger crystals in a secondary stage of crystallisation.
@andrewilloughb Yeah this wrinkling is the mechanical shrinkage of the cell walls due to the vacuum of the SEM chamber. Outgassing their water content the wrinkles will become more pronounced and the cells will eventually collapse.
@MadS100tist Animals are connected in this Web too. They all rely on one another, they all have a critical function. They are all nested feedback loops. The forests nested within the Earth as an ecosystem. The Earth in solar system ecosystem, and so on.
@MadS100tist Ecosystem nested within an ecosystem which in turn is nested within an ecosystem and so on -> An ecosystem is a network of relationships between it's members. So a cell is an ecosystem. An organ is an ecosystem of tissues and in turn of cells. All the way out to macro sized ecos
