This award-winning image of the hippocampus with an ultra-wide, high-speed multi-photon laser microscope. The tissue was stained to reveal the organization of glial cells (cyan), neurofilaments (green) and DNA (yellow). The microscope used by Deerinck was developed in collaboration with Roger Tsien (Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2008) and remains a powerful and unique tool today (2012, almost 20 years after its development).

A fruit fly ovary, shown here, contains up to 20 eggs. Ripe fruit flies aren't just tiny insects that buzz around overripe fruit, they're a venerable scientific tool. Fly research has shed light on many aspects of human biology, including biological rhythms, learning, memory, and neurodegenerative diseases. Another reason fruit flies are so useful in a lab (and so effective in fruit bowls) is that they reproduce quickly. About three generations can be studied in a single month.

STS059-S-027 (10 April 1994) --- This image is a false-color composite of Raco, Michigan, centered at 46.39 degrees north latitude, 84.88 degrees east longitude. This image was acquired by the Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C and X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR) aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour on its 6th orbit and during the first full-capacity test of the instrument. This image was produced using both L-Band and C-Band data. The area shown is approximately 20 kilometers by 50 kilometers. Raco is located at the eastern end of Michigan's upper peninsula, west of Sault Ste. Marie and south of Whitefish Bay on Lake Superior. The site is located at the boundary between the boreal forests and the northern temperate forests, a transitional zone that is expected to be ecologically sensitive to anticipated global changes resulting from climatic warming. On any given day, there is a 60 percent chance that this area will be obscured to some extent by cloud cover which makes it difficul

Artist Daniel Zeller used the breathtaking imagery from the Cassini spacecraft as a departure point to interpret the intricate surface of Saturns moon Titan in this peice titled "Titan". Cassini entered Saturn's orbit in July of 2004 after a seven-year voyage. It then began a four-year mission that includes more than 70 orbits around the ringed planet and its moons.

Borosulfates are a unique class of compounds that are formed when, under special conditions, borates and sulfates are "forced" to form new bonds and lose water in the process of making polymeric anionic chains. Borosulfates are a part the "solid acid" class of compounds that have been leveraged to develop Solid Acid Fuel Cells (SAFCs) by SAFCell, Inc., but are different in that the anions in borosulfates are bound together, producing a combination of attractive new properties. NRL has found that borosulfates that specifically exhibit one-dimentional anionic chains (as seen in the accompanying figure) have very special properties that produce a very low barrier to proton transport within the crystal in combination with relatively high thermal stability and good tolerance for both wet and dry conditions at target fuel cell operating temperature. This makes one-dimentional borosulfates, such as ammonium borosulfate, an attractive alternative to current state-of-the-art solid acid electrol
