Photo of vials under UV illumination, glowing with red light. There are 8 vials, with red fluorescence roughly increasing from left to right. The background is a cardboard box shining blue from the UV light.
A lab setting in which a photo reactor made of LEDs inside hollow metal cylinders, on a white plastic frame shines a strong red light. On top of one of the cylinders there is a photometer with an optic fiber employed to measure the light power. The whole picture has a strong red hue, which in my opinion looks cyberpunk.

Gif of a molecular dynamics simulation of four corrole molecules in a box, half of which contains acetonitrile and the other half of which contains water molecules. The simulation only runs for a time long enough so that the solvents start mixing, but not much. The simulation was performed using ORCA, with the AIMNet2 neural network potential and visualized using Chemcraft.

Editorial Office nefm@bilpub.com NEFM305 Title:Revitalized water– magnetically treated water ABSTRACT A new model of atoms and molecules was proposed. It was revealed that there must be two types (type A and type B) of atoms that differ in the direction of rotation of individual rings (for type B, all rings rotate opposite to the directions of rotation for type A) but have the same structure. The rotations of protons and neutrons in atoms are given by a system that resembles a “cogwheel” in gear box. For example: both oxygen atoms have the same structure, but the individual protons rotate in opposite directions in both atoms. Magnetic lines of force with opposite orientations are then created in the proton axis. Only such oxygen atoms can combine to form an oxygen molecule. Magnetic lines of force emerge from one proton of the first oxygen atom and can thus enter the proton of the second oxygen atom. Each oxygen atom has 8 protons, 8 electrons and 8 neutrons.
