On the surface of things
By George M. Whitesides (text) and Felice Frankel (photographs).
Using innovative photographic technology, MIT artist-in-residence Felice Frankel finds starling abstract beauty in the undulations of liquid crystal film, the gymnastics of plastic microstructures, the migratory trudge of bacteria and other scientific wonders.
A fascinating text by world-renowed Harvard chemistry professor Georges M. Whitesides explains photograph, describing why and how each of these phenomena occur.
