Silicon Nanotubes

Sometimes the best part of my job is that I get to illustrate some groundbreaking research  (this research is by University of Nebraska-Lincoln professor Yongfeng Lu) where I don’t fully know what is happening.

This illustration is one of those examples. As far as I understand, it shows where silicon nanotubes have grown between metal nodes. When shot with a laser the nodes become white-hot on the end.

About me


An image of Joel

Interested in knowing more about me? I'm flattered! Where do I start? Well, I am a 2004 graduate from the University of Nebraska. I've always sort of been a nerd, but my degree in computer science probably didn't help that. But I have always had a love of art, so combine the computer base with my minor in studio art and viola, you get me.

Born and raised in small town Nebraska, I'm passionate about everything this great state brings - yes even (or especially) the cold weather. Call me strange.
