Color By Nano - The Art of Kate Nichols: Science on the SPOT

[@kqed]

@MaBuSt We vetted this animation with scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories, and they concurred this was an accurate description of surface plasmon resonance.

a wonderful example of how an artists curiosity can help educate and explore science. We need 100 more of you! You have a bright future young lady. All the best to you :-)

What a cool person! I love her explanations, curiosity and creativity. Just the idea of approaching the lab with the idea was bold. How fortunate that the lab director was also an artist! Hell, I even like the handwriting in her notebook.

@MaBuSt “The purpose of human life is to serve and to show compassion and the will to help others.” ~ Albert Schweitzer ~Bravo Zulu, to Kate Nichols, on your outstanding presentation!

Fantastic!!!!

Can we tune the color by subjecting the silver nanoprisms to a changing electric field? I hope you do an experiment on this.

[@MaBuSt]

KQED i expected more from you, 5:40, this is not surface plasmon resonance that is represented, this is plasma resonance. If I am incorrect about this I am sorry, please respond to me and correct me...

ART WAS THE FIRST SCIENCE

cool as heck good work

[@christopherho9956]

how does light change the nano structure of the silver? Do the photons travel more intensely? How would the light even change the structure. wow.

if you go defer in that study that color, you can create a color invincible color or can mike a camouflage invincible . imagine if you do that, what will be the impact in our wold, specially in our arm forces, that study color by using nano technology is the new be-gaining of the future.

my inherent technical writer wants to write documentation for this exact process
