This image of a rodent optic nerve head showing astrocytes (yellow), contractile proteins (red) and retinal vasculature (green) by Hassanain Qambari and Jayden Dickson won first place at the 2023 NSW Photomicrography competition....
The processes of erosion and subsequent sediment deposition can produce some very intriguing and visually staggering imagery, whether on a small scale, or visible from satellites, as presented here....
One of the most amazing things about Art which is meant to change within an environment as the environment changes, is the cumulative effects that change can have, when viewed over a long period of time. This artwork was meant to archive that change, as that change transformed the work of art....
This striking image, produced by Eammon Kennedy of Notre Dame, is a composite of six Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) topographs of cancer cells. Programmed cell death (apoptosis) has been induced by laser irradiation....
Are scientific illustrations natural process art? That is up for debate, but in my opinion any art that is based on direct observations of nature can be considered natural process art, so long as the intent is not only to illustrate an idea, or present a thing, but present it in an aesthetic, visually appealing way. The intent...
The intricacy and color depth of this one just floor me… It came in 8th place in the Small World competition in 2014, but if you ask me it should have ranked higher, in spite of the high quality of the competition!...
This video was produced by the same organization that brings us their annual agar art contest each year! I was fascinated to learn how this is done, and hopefully the process will intrigue you, as well!...
I don’t know about you, but this is what I need more of right now in this weather - visions of very, very cold things! This one in particular is interesting because it is an image taken during research onto ice-binding proteins. The temperature is suddenly lowered, to study the dendritic crystal growth which happens in an...
Are these windswept sand dunes, as seen from 1,200 feet above the surface of the planet, or are these formations inches across? It’s often hard to tell with natural processes, and that ambivalence lends itself to some wonderful new perspectives....
Though this science-based project originated in one place with two people, it has now grown to cover many more places, and even more people! It takes many hands to make these reef components, and those hands need many hours to make all of the stitches required to produce these displays....
This is not meant to warn ships away from the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia, as its size and location prohibit that function. It’s main function is a sensor for water temperatures in the area. The colors of the various LED’s within indicate ocean temperatures, and are a beautiful way of indicating important...
