A strange landscape with an even stranger sky.
This is a microscope view of the edge of a smooth chunk of silicon, coated with
a thin clear plasticy layer of photoresist. Just like the colors in a soap
bubble, this colorless thin layer produces rainbow colors due to the wave

A Devil’s Tower-like monument rises above a sea of bubbles. It’s just another
day in the life of a nanolaser researcher.
The tower is a microscopic laser in the process of being built - here, it’s

acid, and invisible to the naked eye. The one on the right is a hoodoo, carved
by wind and rain, and is approximately 20 million times larger. And about 60

It looks like it could be an image of desert badlands - except for that
strangely translucent wall. In fact, this scene is much, much smaller. An ant
could step over the wall without ever noticing its existence.
