Argonne National Laboratory scientist Yu-Sheng Chen calibrates the needle of the x-ray diffraction machine at Chem.Mat.Cars in the Advanced Photon Source.
A light-transmitting compound that could one day be used in high-efficiency fiber optics and sensors that detect biological and chemical weapons at long distance almost went undiscovered by scientists because its structure was too difficult to examine. Scientists from Argonne and Northwestern University were able to determine the structure of the compound using the uniquely suited chemistry and materials (ChemMatCars) beamline of the Center for Advances Radiation Sources at the Advanced Photon Sources.

Puffing Billy seen in the Making the Modern World Exhibition at the Science Museum
Puffing Billy is an early railway steam locomotive, constructed in 1813-1814 by engineer William Hedley, enginewright Jonathan Forster and blacksmith Timothy Hackworth for Christopher Blackett, the owner of Wylam Colliery near Newcastle upon Tyne, in the United Kingdom. It is the world's oldest surviving steam locomotive

Photos for work from the 7th annual Des Moines Public Schools Science Fair. More than 200 students in grades 6-12 presented their research for a chance to go on to the Iowa State Science Fair. A lot of smart, confident kids all in one place.
Students made posters of forest, lake, desert, ocean, swamp, river, mountain, or coastline ecosystem's living and non-living organisms.
The Faculty of Science offers Science Rocks! summer camps every year throughout July and August. Designed especially for young people in Grades 4, 5, and 6. These camps are great fun and an awesome learning opportunity for campers.
Today the kids learned to make super stretchy silly putty, watched some amazing science demos, and flew paper airplanes on the green.

Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture’s design for the Powerhouse Science Center re-envisions a historic riverfront structure as a hub for science education, exploration and promotion in the City of Sacramento. On the banks of the Sacramento River, the Science Center grows out from an abandoned power station building. As a principal component of the Riverfront activation, the Powerhouse Science Center anchors Robert T. Matsui Waterfront Park and borders the southern terminus of the 32-mile American River Bike Trail.
Vacant for over half a century, the structure undergoes a complete historic rehabilitation and the construction of a new floor level inside. A new two-story addition projects from the east side, containing a lobby, classrooms, offices and a cafe. A 110-seat planetarium is prominently on display with a zinc-clad hemispheric dome rising above the building’s mass. As representation of our place in the universe, the facade and building mass is sectioned by multiple planes, creating continuous vector lines that extend across the building and site. From satellites to world landmarks, the lines form connections with local and global points of interest.
The original PG&E Power Station B was designed in 1912 in the Beaux Arts Style by architect Willis Polk and was formally closed in 1954. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historic Places and the Sacramento Register of Historic & Cultural Resources. The Powerhouse Science Center is designed to achieve a USGBC LEED Rating of Silver.

Near the end of the summer, I was asked by the publishers of Popular Science magazine to produce a visualization piece that explored the archive of their publication. PopSci has a history that spans almost 140 years, so I knew there would be plenty of material to draw from. Working with Mark Hansen, I ended up making a graphic that showed how different technical and cultural terms have come in and out of use in the magazine since it's inception.
And in my baby's arms I need no faith
I need no words to define myself
And when I'm holding you, light rushing through
I wanna make it now, safe and straight
me illuminated by the Blue Light Of Science. This light appears in labs when science is getting done.

Researchers in NREL's Basic Sciences and Computational Sciences Center are working together on a novel way to use green algae to produce hydrogen directly from water and sunlight, that when recombined with oxygen in a fuel cell, produces clean energy without pollutants.

At Idaho National Laboratory, Steve Novack holding a sheet of solar nanoantenna materials.
Research have devised in inexpensive way to produce plastic sheets containing billion of nanoantennas that collect heat energy generated by the sun and other sources. The technology developed at INL, is the first step towards solar energy collector that could be mass-produced on flexible materials. The sheets could one day be manufactured as lightweight "Skins" that power everything from hybrid cars to ipods with higher efficiency than traditional solar cells.

The instruction is a combination of interactive lecture, hands-on experience, real world case studies, group work, and research.
Only 12 out of a total 33 Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) undulator magnet are needed to create the first pulse of laser light.
The LCLS offers researchers the first-ever glimpse of high energy or "hard" x-ray laser light produced in a laboratory. It will provide the world's brightest, shortest pulse of laser x-rays for scientist study. It will give scientists an unprecedented tool for studying and understanding the arrangement of atoms in materials such as metal, semiconductors, ceramics, polymers, catalysts, plastics and biological molecules, with wide-ranging intact on advances energy research and other fields.

The museum is located opposite the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in the Givat Ram neighborhood. The museum is named for its principal donor, Neri Bloomfield. The museum features indoor and outdoor hands-on exhibits, among them a bubble-making corner in which huge bubbles are produced by chains and sticks. Special events at the museum include programs on science-related topics, such as biomedical research, in which the public is invited to meet stem cell researchers and discuss the ethical issues involved. A special night science program sponsored by the European Union has been held at the museum for several years.
