Glow, baby, Glow

I'm presenting a talk and a poster at an upcoming conference, and in the process I've been looking around for cool images to share.  I didn't use most of the ones I found, but I think if every burnt-out high-school junior thinking about ditching science could see some of this stuff, they'd all jump right back onto the wagon.

Three colors of Si nanocrystals (inside vials), illuminated with UV light. 

 Si nanocrystals on a mesh, in room light (top) and illuminated with UV light (bottom).




A thin film of Si nanocrystals (the black spots on the glass are actually from the tape we use to stick down the glass slide), in room light and illuminated by UV light.
