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.

TECHNICIAN TESTING A MODEL OF A DRIFT TUBE FOR THE THIRD INJECTOR AT THE SUPERHILAC.
THE SUPERHILAC IS A LINEAR ACCELERATOR USED FOR LOW ENERGY NUCLEAR SCIENCE RESEARCH AND USED AS THE INJECTOR FOR BEVELAC. BEAMS OF TWO DIFFERENT IONS CAN BE PRODUCED ON ALTERNATE PULSES AND DELIVERED TO ONE OR TWO SUPERHILAC EXPERIMENTERS AND TO BEVELAC. FIVE MAJOR BEAM LINES, WITH 13 TARGET AREAS DESIGNED FOR VARIOUS STUDIES, ARE CURRENTLY IN OPERATION AT THE SUPERHILAC. AT THE BEVATRON, RESEARCH IS CONDUCTED IN MEDIUM TO HIGH ENERGY HEAVY ION NUCLEAR PHYSICS, PLUS CLINICAL TRIALS FOR HEAVY ION RADIOTHERAPY. EIGHT BEAM LINES WITH SEVERAL SPECIALIZED TARGET AREAS AND A BIOMEDICAL FACILITY ARE AVAILABLE AT THE BEVATRON/BEVELAC.

Any aquarium worth it's weight in saltwater, has to have some sort of overhead tank scene. The California Academy of Sciences does not disappoint in this regard.
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.
Construction progress on the historic building and the assembly of the tilt-up panels for the new addition.

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.

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.

I spent a couple of days shooting the Ottawa Regional Science Fair as their official photographer. A daunting task, but they wanted volunteers and I try not to turn down opportunities to shoot pictures of people.
I'm not posting the rest of the photos because the organizers want to verify that the kids all had signed model releases before any photos were put up publicly. But it's killing me to have around 500 photos and only be able to show you the one of the bags 'cause there's no people in it.
So here's a science fair teaser: I decided this pano was so huge and anonymous that it probably wasn't a problem to post it. Plus, unlike the earlier photos, this was taken once the science fair was open, so there was no expectation of anonymity.
It's probably best to view it large... or bigger, really.

Branch: Tully Community Branch Library
Event: Bubble Science
Date: 2012 August 22
Description: Having fun with bubbles! We made our own bubble mixtures and bubble wands. The best bubble mixture: 1/3 cup dishwashing liquid, 4 cups water, 1-2 tablespoons glycerin.

As part of Manchester Science Festival. The ‘Science Extravaganza’ brings together experts from across the faculty, creating family friendly workshops for members of the public. This year, the John Dalton Building became a Forensics Lab for a giant game of ‘who done it’, complete with detective notebooks and crime scene tape…
We were also proud to to host Combination Dance Co. working in collaboration with scientists from MMU, UCL and the Motor Neuron Disease Association. Dancers and martial arts performers staged an interactive dance exploring how we currently understand a motor neurone works, how MND affects the body and the effects MND has on those living with the disease.
This former schools is being converted into condos. We were given the opportunity to explore it before its conversion.

When science and balloons come together it means fun! Static electricity is taught at Ensley Branch Library's Science Club.
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.
