The first annual art of science exhibit at princeton. This image is the wake created by a plate pitching back and forth. Quite beautiful.

The Rock Blooms
James Nehlsen GS
Department of Chemical Engineering
This unique semi-organic mineral structure is the result of a slow chemical reaction. The reaction occurs spontaneously between alkanethiols, which are simple sulfur-containing organic compounds, and lead oxide. Here, the oxide is a surface coating on a coil of metallic lead wire that forms naturally in moist air. The structure consists of layers of lead alkanethiolates, a stable compound that is solid at room temperature and has a distinct yellow color. The layers grow outwards from the surface of the wire as the reaction proceeds, curling into “petals.” But be careful, beautiful though it may be, this “flower” is toxic. The structure grows slowly upward as the wire is uncoiled by the growing petals, eventually filling the jar in which the reaction occurs. This structure took more than a week to grow. A less delicate but faster growing form of this material can be used to remove polluting sulfur compounds from gasoline during the refining process.

SECOND PRIZE WINNER
This image illustrates evolving dynamical patterns formed during the spreading of a surface-active substance (surfactant) over a thin liquid film on a silicon wafer. After spin-coating of glycerol, small droplets of oleic acid were deposited. The usually slow spreading process was highly accelerated by the surface tension imbalance that triggered a cascade of hydrodynamic instabilities. Such surface-tension driven flow phenomena are believed to be important for the self-cleaning mechanism of the lung as well as pulmonary drug delivery.

This guy Gary Stochl just took pictures for years completely on his own. No connection to the art world. Then he finally shows the work for consideration he brings 100's of them loose in a shopping bag.

the water photographer's book on amazon
Book Description
In The Hidden Messages in Water, Masaru Emoto described how water can absorb, hold, and even retransmit human emotions, and underlined his theory using high-speed photos of frozen water crystals that showed changes when specific, concentrated thoughts were directed toward the water. Extending from this idea, The Secret Life of Water focuses on how prayer can affect water — and more — in a curative way. The book's central goal is to promote peace within the reader and around the world through the use of prayer. Covering the various aspects of hado, or life energy, it focuses in-depth on hado's "flow" aspect, and on the consequences when human desire, pride, and ideology interfere with "flow." According to the author, water can act as a mirror reflecting the human heart — and the current water situation is serious. He argues that prayer is the first step toward healing, and documents the power of prayer when people gather together, outlining several experiments in which water has revealed visually how prayers can change the world.
