Aluna the dik dik is only 8 inches tall.

She didn’t bond with her mother, so she’s being raised by hand by the luckiest zookeeper ever at the Chester Zoo.

OHHHHHHHH MY GOOOOOOOOOOD

Tailored Molecules

With the hand of nature trained on a beaker of chemical fluid, the most delicate flower structures have been formed in a Harvard laboratory—and not at the scale of inches, but microns. These minuscule sculptures, curved and delicate, don’t resemble the cubic or jagged forms normally associated with crystals, though that’s what they are. Rather, fields of carnations and marigolds seem to bloom from the surface of a submerged glass slide, assembling themselves a molecule at a time.

By simply manipulating chemical gradients in a beaker of fluid, Wim L. Noorduin, a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and lead author of a paper appearing on the cover of the May 17 issue of Science, has found that he can control the growth behavior of these crystals to create precisely tailored structures.

Dye is injected into water and runs into the Great Salt Lake. The color came from a small stream that enters the lake near Saltair, a color change that was planned by scientists as part of a large-scale experiment. They’re trying to get a better understanding of how pollutants contaminate the lake. The striking color gives them a way to visualize it as the dye mimics pollutants.
