NEBULA IN A FLASK
University of Rhode Island chemistry grad student Matthew Mullen snapped this photo just after dropping the organic dye Rhodamine 6G into a flask of ethanol. He let the dye mix with the ethanol, without stirring. Mullen would like to use this dye to develop a sensor for detecting explosive materials. When the dye gets exposed to these materials, its fluorescence is quenched, indicating the presence of dangerous compounds such as TNT.
