C&EN’s Chemistry in Pictures: Showcasing the beauty of chemistry and the chemical sciences
Chemistry often deals with the unseen. But chemistry is also visually captivating: Think bright fluorescent dyes, glittering crystals, and shape-shifting polymers. A scientist with an aesthetic eye can find beauty even in something as mundane as an experiment gone wrong.
This photography exhibition showcases images from C&EN’s (Chemical & Engineering News’) Chemistry in Pictures series. The exhibition, like the C&EN series, highlights the beauty of chemistry and the chemical sciences. The images you see here come from academic journals, instrument makers and, most importantly, the labs and lives of individual chemists and other scientists around the world.
Through such images, C&EN’s Chemistry in Pictures provides a window into the fascinating world of scientific research and discovery. It also brings the beauty inherent in chemistry to the general public.
