Chemical companies, such as BASF, are forging new relationships with academic partners to further research with technological and commercial promise. Some of the research support that BASF will be funneling into Harvard University in the coming years could help move some fundamental work in those more practical directions. Examples from the lab of David A. Weitz, a professor of physics and applied physics, are illustrated in the images here. In other cases, universities are aiding commercialization of fundamental research and helping along start-up firms such as Liquidia Technologies, whose nanoparticle replication technology is also shown here.

Butt In To Butt Out
To document the plague of littered cigarette butts that I write about in the October 29 issue, I grabbed a camera and walked a several-block perimeter around the headquarters of the American Chemical Society in downtown Washington, DC. It's a lovely and clean-appearing urban area, that is, until you train your eyes toward the streets and sidewalks. I was in search of cigarette butts and I found them everywhere—along the street curbs, on sidewalks, in the textured tops of iron manhole covers, in the rectangular slots of metal street gratings, in buildings' window wells, in sewage portals, atop tinder-dry mulch beds, sometimes even in the ashtrays and butt receptacles that many facility managers have placed at the buildings' entry ways. In recent years, the tobacco industry has been producing more than 5 trillion cigarettes, serving some 1.1. billion smokers. No one knows how many of the resulting butts end up as litter, but one 45-minute stroll around a small part of one downtown area suggests that the number is best written out in exponential notation.

Abstracting the Expo
For many people, laboratory equipment is as gripping to look at as toasters or washing machines. But hidden in plain sight in the accoutrements of research are functional ensembles of geometry, texture, color, and contour that also carry aesthetic value. One afternoon in March, at the American Chemical Society national meeting in Chicago, I embarked on a photographic hunt-and-gather expedition in the exposition hall at McCormick Place. When I fitted my digital camera with a macro lens, which allowed me to focus on objects much closer to the camera than is possible with standard lenses, I became a witness to a compelling and novel vista of all things laboratorial. Glassware, chromatography columns, even plastic syringe filters took on new, engaging personas. Here is a selection from my harvest.
