Pouring mineral fertilizer in granules into the fertilizer spreader,

Stomata. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of stomata (holes) on the surface of daisy petal. These structures perform a similar function to the pores in human skin, allowing water to pass out of the plant. They also act like lungs, allowing carbon dioxide and oxygen (found in air) to pass into and out of the plant. The stomata can be opened and closed depending on the conditions and the need to retain water. Water and carbon dioxide are combined in photosynthesis to produce sugars (transported around the plant in veins) and oxygen (released via the stoma). The original image was upscaled using AI tools before the camera move was applied.

Animation demonstrating a slow crystallisation process. The simulation starts with a melted solid (blue spheres) and shows how slow cooling leads to large crystallites resembling a monocrystalline structure. It is based on the Lennard-Jones potential, which models interactions between neutral atoms. During the cooling process, small seed crystals (nuclei) form and grow as more material deposits onto them. Slow cooling allows ample time for nucleation and growth, resulting in larger crystals as atoms arrange in an orderly fashion. In contrast, rapid cooling causes less time for these processes, leading to smaller crystals with a fine-grained structure.

Animation demonstrating a moderate crystallisation process. The simulation starts with a melted solid (blue spheres) and shows how medium-sized crystallites form at a moderate cooling rate. The simulation uses the Lennard-Jones potential to model interactions between atoms and molecules. As a melt cools and solidifies into a crystal, various stages affect its size and structure. The cooling rate plays a crucial role. Slow cooling allows for ample time for nuclei (small seed crystals) to form and grow, leading to larger crystals. In contrast, rapid cooling offers less time for nucleation and growth, resulting in smaller, fine-grained crystals.

Animation demonstrating a fast crystallisation process. This simulation starts with a melted solid (blue spheres) and shows how rapid cooling leads to small crystallites. The simulation is based on the Lennard-Jones potential, which describes interactions between neutral atoms or molecules. As the melt cools, small seed crystals, or nuclei, form and grow as more material deposits onto them. Slow cooling allows more time for nucleation and growth, resulting in larger crystals, while rapid cooling limits this time, leading to smaller, fine-grained crystals.

Time-Lapse of Germinating Lettuce

Timelapse footage of a French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) germinating underground. This is an example of epigeal germination, where the stem (hypocotyl) bearing the first leaves (cotyledons) forms a hook shape, which pulls the leaves upwards to the surface before straightening. Cropped from 3872x2592 pixels. See clip K003 7998 for a version with aspect ratio 4:3.

Timelapse sequence of an ear of wheat (Triticum sp.) germinating and growing in a rhizobox. The ear contains numerous individual seeds, which germinate separately on the ear. This wheat was filmed over 12 days.
