Raman Research Institute, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.
Founded in 1948 by Nobel laureate Sir C.V. Raman in Bengaluru, the Raman Research Institute (RRI) is a premier autonomous institution in India, contributing significantly to basic sciences, particularly in liquid crystals, astronomy, astrophysics, soft condensed matter, and quantum technologies. RRI has pioneered research in liquid crystals, discovering key phases, and is a leader in developing indigenous technology for quantum communication and computing.
Electromechanical technologist Gilbert Gonzalez and mechanical engineer Megan Tribble, both in the Explosives Engineering Operations Dept., test configurations for the Explosive Destruction System, or EDS. The Sandia-designed system was developed in the 1990s and is the only successful technology that doesn’t use incineration to destroy munitions. Over the years, the basic operation of EDS has remained the same. At its core is a leak-tight vessel in which munitions are placed. An explosive shaped charge opens the metal shell, exposing the chemical agent and burster, a small explosive that disperses the agent. The burster explodes or deflagrates safely inside the vessel. A reagent is then pumped into the chamber to neutralize the chemical agent. The chamber is heated and rotateded to mix the chemicals and speed the reaction.

March 14, 2013 - Detail of wiring in the high performance computing (HPC) data center at NREL's Energy Systems Integration Facility. Initially, the HPC data center will house a petascale computing capability (one million billion calculations per second) and provide room for future systems that enable large-scale modeling and simulation of novel materials, biological and chemical processes, and fully integrated systems that would be too expensive, or even impossible, to study by direct experimentation.

February 11, 2013 - NREL scientists Michael Crowley and Antti-Pekka Hynninen have developed algorithms that speed calculations done by the software tool CHARMM by several orders of magnitude, using code such as the one pictured. Using NREL's new petascale supercomputer housed in the Energy Systems Integration Facility, they can simulate the motions of thousands of atoms, leading to greater understanding of how molecular models work.

English: A documentary image - Dr. Ingrid-Maria Gregor (ZEUS/DESY) talks to Berlin S-Bahn passengers on the "World Machine".
On June 14, 2008 the "Long Night of the Sciences" took place in Berlin. More than 60 universities and institutions presented their scientific work to the public. One of the events is shown here: dozens of German particle physicists talked to metro train travellers about the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which will become the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator. The train was the "LHC Express", a regular model of the Berlin Circle Line S41 equipped with information panels and images. The length of the S41 is in the same order of magnitude (37 km) as the underground LHC tunnel (27 km). There were dozens of LHC talks around me during the hour the S41 takes for one trip around Berlin city. - I took part in a sweepstake, the name of Peter Higgs had to be guessed who postulated the Higgs boson in 1964 which physicists hope to verify in LHC experiments.
From October 15 to November 16, 2008 an exhibition on the LHC will take place in the future subway station of the German parliament: World Machine.
Thanks to Dr. Gregor for corrections.
Deutsch: Ein dokumentarisches Bild - Dr. Ingrid-Maria Gregor (ZEUS/DESY) spricht mit Passagieren der Berliner S-Bahn über die "Weltmaschine".
Am 14. Juni 2008 fand die achte Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften in Berlin statt. Mehr als 60 Universitäten und Forschungseinrichtungen präsentierten der Öffentlichkeit ihre wissenschaftliche Arbeit. Eine der Veranstaltungen ist in diesem Bild zu sehen: Dutzende Teilchenphysiker aus ganz Deutschland unterhielten sich mit Reisenden über den Large Hadron Collider (LHC) am CERN in Genf, der in diesem Jahr seine Arbeit aufnehmen soll und dann der größte und stärkste Teilchenbeschleuniger der Welt sein wird. Die Veranstaltung fand in einem regulären Zug der Berliner Ringbahn S41 statt, der mit LHC-Fotos und Informationstafeln ausgestattet war. Die Länge der S41 bewegt sich mit 37 km in der gleichen Größenordnung wie der Untergrund-Tunnel des LHC (27 km). Während der einstündigen Ringbahn-Fahrt waren um mich herum Dutzende von Gesprächen über das Projekt zu beobachten. Ich nahm an einem Gewinnspiel teil, bei dem der Name von Peter Higgs zu errätseln war, der das Higgs-Boson 1964 postulierte. Eines der wichtigsten Ziele des LHC ist die Verifizierung dieses Elementarteilchens.
Vom 15. Oktober bis zum 16. November 2008 wird im U-Bahnhof Bundestag eine weitere Ausstellung über die Weltmaschine stattfinden.
Danke an Frau Dr. Gregor für Korrekturen.

Microorganisms, seen only through a microscope, can be bacterium, virus, or fungus. Bacteria are classified by morphology (form, or shape) and aggregation (grouping or massing), and the basic forms are spheres (coccus) and round-ended cylinders (bacillus) which people who talk normal English call ‘rods’. Hence my entry and its title: ‘Rods of color’.
Wikipedia: Bacterial cellular morphologies includes a neat figure of pictorial examples.
